Depends on what the interior work becomes:
• Interior works that become part of the immovable property (false ceilings, flooring, fixed partitions, built-in cabinets, wiring embedded in walls) are "construction" for Sec 17(5)(c)/(d) (which includes renovation, repairs and additions to immovable property to the extent capitalised). ITC is blocked if capitalised.
• Movable furniture, fixtures and equipment (loose furniture, AC units, lights not embedded): ITC is allowed if used for business.
• If the interior work is expensed (repair or maintenance, not capitalised), the 17(5)(d) restriction doesn't apply ("to the extent capitalised"), so ITC is allowed.
• "Residential premises" used for your professional office: ITC is allowed only for the business-use portion. Personal-use ITC is blocked (17(5)(g)).
