Asked 8 years ago in Income Tax

Hi,

In order to claim deduction of the principal and interest paid on EMI, you should be the owner of the house.

Please let us know who has funded the property. Is it jointly funded or its funded only by your wife.

Please feel free to call/revert in case of any doubts

Thanks and Regards

Hello,

Since the property is not in your name it is difficult to claim interest benefit.

In the ITR, you can claim it as a loss under House Property.

Trust this clarifies your query.

Feel free to call / get back in case of further clarifications.

Thanking You.
