Add Rental Income for a Jointly Owned Property

Add Rental Income for a Jointly Owned Property

Jointly-owned property is held by two or more people—whether spouses, business partners, friends, or family members. It’s a smart tax move since rental income, property taxes, home loan interest, and principal repayment are shared among co-owners.


Each co-owner can claim home loan interest u/s 24(b) and principal repayment u/s 80C. 


Prerequisites to claim tax benefits

  • You must be a co-owner of the property, and a co-borrower for the loan, if any 
  • The construction of the property must be complete
