The whole property will be considered as if having two properties.
Part I - Used for business and profession, hence 1/2 of the Municipal taxes will be allowed as expenditure similar treatment will be given to interest.
Part II - will be taxed under HP as an independent unit and all provision of HP will apply accordingly... (take municipal taxes and Int. at 50%) (Conservative approach)
