Ownership is a condition precedent for claiming an exemption u/s 24(b) or u/s 80C of the Income Tax Act-1961. Without ownership, benefit of deduction cannot be availed by the assessee. In the case elaborated by you, non availability of income in the hands of the wife or non availment of deduction by wife doesn’t entitle husband to claim the deduction.

Two Separate treatments are not possible, one for recognizing the income & the other for claiming the deduction. On the one side, assessee (employee-husband) want to prove that he is the owner of the house property for claiming the deduction u/s 24(b) / 80C and on the other side, want to isolate himself while recognizing the income.
