A house property can be anything that is attached to the land; it could be a house, an office, a shop, or even a structure.
The Income Tax Department makes no distinction between a commercial establishment and a primary residence. Under the income from house property head, all properties are taxed with a deduction allowed u/s 24 of the Income Tax Act.
