20 October 2014 most probably it would considered as income from house property.

however, the business loss that would be there on account of business expenses can be set off against this house property income.

20 October 2014 Where a factory building is let out, the rent received generally is income from business in the hands of the lessor or the owner of the factory. Depreciation, salary office expenses and Directors remuneration can be claimed.

20 October 2014 Hi

Both the rental incomes i.e.Residential / Commercial will treated under the head Income from House Property

You can claim 30% as Repairs & Maintenance u/s.24 A of IT Act. on the net rental amount received after deducting Water & Property Tax payments.

You may claim depreciation as per IT Act.

If property taken on loacn then you can also claim interest on loan taken u/s24B.

Losses from business/profession can be set off against all income heads other than salary.

Thanks
