If the flat is being purchased by resources of your husband alone and you are merely a technical co-owner, he can claim the entire tax benefit. The loan EMI repayment has to be proved from his funds.

Definitely your husband can claim the full benefits of the tax available on depositing loan amount as well as on interest amount even though he is owner of 1/2 share of the house.

Your husband can claim deduction on interest paid u/s 24 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 to the extent of Rs.1.50 lakhs if it a self occupied house or if the property is let out the actual amount paid as interest even if it is more than Rs.1.50 lakhs. Further, your husband can claim deduction u/s 80 C tho the extent of Rs.1.00 lakh on HL principal repayment. However, the aggregate of the investment allowed as savings under this section is restricted to Rs.1.00 lakh.
