Hi, a - Both of you can claim tax deductions on home loan EMI payments. b - Provisional home loan statement. c - Generally employers accept 50 : 50 tax claim between joint borrowers. If your employer is not accepting this, you may submit joint-declaration that both of you are going to claim 50:50 of tax benefits on home loan. Suggest you to pay EMIs from a joint account. d - Yes, you can claim your share of tax benefits when filing your income tax return.
