Dear,

In order to claim interest exemption of above 1.5lacs each by you and your brother, property must be let out. Under section 80c of Income Tax Act, 1961 exemption of Rs.1,00,000/- is available against principal amount paid towards loan amount.

It is always beneficial to declare the property as let-out and show minimum rent to avail the benefit of above 1.5lacs against interest.
