Agricultural Land is exempt from Tax subjected to conditions,

Land qualifies to be agricultural land if it is not situated in any area which is comprised within the jurisdiction of a municipality (whether known as a municipality, municipal corporation, notified area committee, town area committee, town committee or by any other name) or a cantonment board..

And which does not have a population of 10,000 or more according to the last preceding census which has been published before the 1st day of the previous year in which the sale of land takes place, and it is not situated less than eight kilo meters from the local limits of any municipality or a cantonment board.
