Office construction - capital expenditure allowed from income?

Hello Sirs,

For a legal professional who is constructing additional rooms at home for use as office, is any capital expenses deduction allowed? The 1st floor is already used as registered office address. 2 additional rooms are being constricted since October 2017. No loan is taken in this. 

Is capital expenditure allowed ?

as per section 30 it's is a capital expenditure but you can claim deprecation u/s 32 -10% as it is more than 180 days total 10% deprecation allowed
the expenses are in the nature of capital... so it cannot be claimed as deduction instead it has to be capitalized and depreciation can be claimed
No on residential building it wll not legally viable. If the base is illegal other related claims will be Nul & void. Secondly in your case it will not be possible to Denmark the residential/commercial portions. It's my view you may proceed as you wish.

Sir,

In the IT website, depreciation section, it is provided as:

"

(1) Buildings which are used mainly for residential purposes except hotels and boarding houses - 5%

 

This does not imply similar case to mine? 

What conditions qualify a residential building for the purpose as given in (1)?

To clarify reg demarking, ground floor is entirely home, 1st floor is entirely office where staff also work.
