04 April 2014 Dear Tushar, please note that this case wont be covered under 24(b). please read section 22 which clearly state that

"The annual value of property consisting of any buildings71 or lands appurtenant thereto of which the assessee is the owner, other than such portions of such property as he may occupy for the purposes of any business or profession carried on by him the profits of which are chargeable to income-tax, shall be chargeable to income-tax under the head "Income from house property"."

Hence, if any part of the property is used for business or profession, it shall not be covered house property itself.

Accordingly, the interest deduction can be claimed only under business/profession and not under house property.
