Tax Benefits Denied: Husband Can't Claim Deductions on Property Registered in Wife's Name Under Sections 24(b) & 80C. A resident of Bharat inquired about tax benefits for a property registered solely in his wife's name, despite him paying the mortgage. He sought clarification on eligibility for deductions under Indian Income Tax law. The response clarified that under sections 24(b) and 80C of the Income Tax Act, tax benefits are linked to ownership. Since the property is not in his name, he cannot claim deductions for interest or principal payments as the tax benefits apply only to the property's legal owner. (AI Summary)
