how can You Claim Loss
Infact even if it is not let out, property will be demed to let out and You have to consider the Fair rent as its Gross Annual Value.
however if there is some loan on the Property You can cliam interest paid on such loan as deduction and if interest is more than (NAV - Stand. Deduction 30%) it will be loss under Income from house property and in that case that loss can be set off fro income under the other heads

Isnt there any court rulling that is in support of claming loss due to vacancy?
I heard something of that sort but not certain abt it.
