From the salary income doesn't allowed any expenditure except prof. tax,HRA,Conveyance allowances etc... based on the eligibility No other deductions allowable for income tax purpose.
However House property income allows deductions of the following 1) municipal taxes(house tax only) 2) 30% standard deduction 3) interest on housing loan.
So interest paid on personal loans doesn't allowed as expenditure for your case. However interest paid on loans taken for the purpose of house property is allowable for deduction according to the section 24(b) under the head of income from house property.
