hi frends,

if the property is registered in the both names, then they both can claim interest exemption u/s 24(b) upto a max limit of rs. 150000/- each and cud also get deduction upto Rs. 1 Lakh on the payment of principal.

but if the property is registered in just one name, then only that person can claim the deduction and exemption even if the loan is taken in the name of more than 1 person.

plz revert..
