For single house property, file ITR1, and carry forward the loss upto next 8 years, for set off against income from House property.

1. According to sec 24(b), interest on borrowed capital will be allowed as a deduction to the extent of Rs. 200,000 or the amount actually paid or accrued during the year, whichever is lower. 
2. It is not mandatory for an assessee to work anywhere to claim the above deduction, it is enough if the income from such a house is capable of charging it to House property. 
3. ITR 1 or 2 will just do fine. If you want to file a detailed return incorporating I would suggest ITR-2. 
Please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view. 

Thanks for the inputs, do i need to some extra care while filling the form. As this is the first time i have to file for interest claim when not working so does not want to have any issues while filling ITR

1. Yes. You can file with due care, which is good. Even if there is a mistake you can still revise your return. 

Thanks Suresh, could you please let me know what common mistakes i can make... As this is first time and have doubts on tgat

It's pretty straight forward. So, if you have doubts you can ask me.

Hi Suresh, when I try to get the itr done it says I have to fill in ITR 2 but for ITR 2 you will need to go for the X M L submission but i am not able to find ITR 2 X M L for computation and submission. Can you help here. Thanks
