The interest cap is for self occupied property only. Here, the property being let out, the conditions as in proviso to section 24(b) read along with section 23(2) of the IT Act,1961 does not attract meaning thereby interest more than Rs.1,50,000/-, if any due,
can be claimed while calculating 'income from house property'.
