Yes. The same is taxable as Short Term Capital Gains.

Land covered beyond 8 kms of muncipal limits is not a capital asset & so no capital gain
Your land is Rural Agricultural Land which is out of the definition of Capital Asset. hence its transfer is not taxable.
the concerned land is not a capital asset.hence no capital gain
