Property on wife name

Respected experts

Husband registered properry on wife name now he want that properry to be made as joint properry on both...can husband take house loan on wife name if properry registered on wife name.

Pla advice



Quick Summary
If a property is registered solely in your wife's name and you wish to make it a joint property, a Gift Deed must be executed to transfer a 50% share to you. For a house loan, your wife, as the titleholder, will be the primary borrower. You can be added as a co-borrower, which can also increase loan eligibility. It's advisable to complete the joint ownership transfer before applying for the loan.

What do you intend to communicate to the experts ?

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Advocate)     27 August 2026

To add your name as a joint owner to a property currently registered solely in your wife's name, you cannot simply add a name to an existing deed. It requires executing a registered Gift Deed transferring a 50% share of the property to you.

Banks require the titleholder (your wife) to be a borrower or co-borrower on the loan because the property serves as security/mortgage. Your wife will be the Primary Borrower (since she owns the property). You can join as a Co-Borrower / Co-Applicant. Banks actually encourage this because adding your income increases the total loan eligibility.

Complete the Gift Deed first so you are both co-owner and co-borrower before applying for the loan.
