This will enhance your loan entitlement and give you more tax-breaks -- up to Rs 1 lakh (Rs 100,000) per annum each under Section 80C for principal repayment and up to Rs 1.5 lakh (Rs 150,000) each under Section 24 for interest repayment
Correction 1 lakh not for each, it is together on principle and RS 1.5 lakh together on Interest
Example : if 120,000 is principle then each can share that in such way that sum should be not more then 1 lakh. even the interest sum should not cross 1.5 lakh

You are just getting confused. If Rs. 1,20,000 is the principle paid, and interest is say, Rs. 1,60,000, then each one can get a rebate of 60,000 for principal and Rs. 80,000 for interest

This is what my tax advisor tells me. But the article says that both can avail the benefit Rs.1,00,000/- on proncipal and Rs.1,50,000/- on interest separately.
