this is not residential property hence interest intrest is not allowed

 

Hello,

Not agree with Vijay

The shop will be treated as a "house property". Hence, the calculation of income from such house property will be done like any other house property and the interest payable on such a loan will be available for deduction . However, no benefit will be available in respect of the principal repaid on such a loan. This is because the deduction under Section 80C is restricted to loans taken to acquire/construct residential house property.
