25 November 2021 A residential property is used for commercial purposes. This qualifies as a business asset and depreciation has to be claimed. Loan taken for such business asset is a business liability. Interest paid on such loan is definitely a claimable expense. Showing the property as self occupied would restrict you to claim only 2lakh interest p.a. Under PGBP, there won't be any restriction.
