For making one flat into two flats, you have to seek the permission of the local civic body, get the plans properly approved, the association/society is to be consulted about separating your single flat into two and after obtaining approvals you can get the single duplex flat into two different flats one each in third and fourth floor.

Subsequent to this you can decide about letting it out on rent of to have it for your own use etc.

Unless there is an embargo in the sale deed or in the local laws to let out the flat to a commercial firm you are free to do so. In residential areas the letting out of flats for commercial use is prohibited on many occasions. A local lawyer alone can tell if there is any such ban imposed by the law or local municipality.
