Hi,
I want to purchase new property and planning to register the same in name of my mother and wife both so that I can claim the benefit of HRA. Can it be done ? Can I claim full benefit for paying rent to parents+wife or there may be issue ?
I will be taking loan for this property. Who should be co-applicants as per above details for tax saving.
regards,
Rajiv Gupta.
