As per S.2(14) (iii) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, an agricultural land situated in specified areas is not considered as capital asset. The specified area is defined in the schedule under the section. So, when you sell such land, there will not be any capital gain tax implications on sale.
The sale proceed is directly credited to capital account, and you need not declare it as Exempted income also.
You can produce your facts to AO, for his satisfaction.
