Interest on housing loan for the house used for business can be claimed under business,provided lender need to give the separate certificate for that portion. electricity & maintenance charges to the extent of business place also can be claimed.
But i presumes you are asking for proprietorship business, then you can claim interest as self occupied interest for the space you are occupying for residential under house property loss and can be set off with business income for the particular individual
