24 February 2015 Capital gain on sale of agricultural land beyond 8 km from municipal limit is exempted. If you sell agricultural land within 8 km, to get exemption either you have to buy another agricultural land or buy a house property if you are already owning only one house or invest the amount in bonds (NHAI and REC combined) in any financial year is Rs 50 lakh.
