Where co-owners have definite shares, each is taxed on their own share of the property income. Each shows their share of rent, municipal tax and interest paid. Each also reports their share in Schedule HP with the co-owner's details.

Analysis
Sec 26 of the Income-tax Act 1961 treats each co-owner separately, so with ₹6,00,000 rent you each show ₹3,00,000, less half the municipal tax and 30%. Interest is claimed by whoever pays the loan for their share. Schedule HP asks for co-owner PAN and percentage. Rent income from letting a shop is still house property income if you are not running a business of letting.
