I am a salaried employee and have purchased a commercial property through a bank loan. Currently the property is lying vacant. Can i claim the interest payment on my bank loan as loss from House property and set off the same from my salary income.

Interest Allowed u/s 24(b), That for House property Only. Not for Commercial Property. * Installment payment u/s 80C Allowed only for Home Loan Principle Payment, Not For Commercial property, if in Deed , You registered it as Commercial property then Not Allowed, Although It Registered as Vacate Land, No Int/Installment allowed as Deduction.

If the property is rented then can I claim the interest expense as a set off from my rental income and the loss from House property against my salary income

Just to confirm. The interest expense can be claimed only if the commercial property is rented. In the case of commercial property not being rented I cannot claim interest expenses.

The Interest u/s 24(b) i.e. interest on housing loan can be claimed only if you have self occupied the property for residence or if you have rented the property.
If you are using it for your business then interest u/s 24(b) cannot be claimed.

Claming Interest Not Depends on Whether You Rented or Not. Only Limit 1.5 Lacs is differ. Other Interest Can be Claimed Even Not rented. Your property (vacate land) Given on Rent or Not, Interest Cant be Claimed under 24(b).
