no. depreciation can be claimed against the building which is being used for the purpose of business. the article might have been refering to something else. it would have helped if you could make an attachment of the same, so that we could understand what it is pointing at......

It is not depreciation. It is deduction. You may avail 30% deduction from your rental income u/s 24.

As per section 32 you will claim depreciation deduction only towards your business income. When we calculating income from house property only two deductions will allow under section 24a and 24b as standard deduction and interest on loan towards purchase or construction of house respectively. So you are not supposed to claim deprecoayion.
