19 August 2015 But can i claim the same under other sources head by showing that to earn the rental income on the new acquired property we have incurred the expense of interest on loan taken.

20 August 2015 If property is a building than you should show your rental income in Income from house property head.
If property is other than building than both rental income and interest should show in income from other sources.
Expenditure nature depend on income source. So that interest also charged on Other source if rental income reeived from other than building
