The Agriculture land can be shown at 1/4th of the total cost to his father by crediting the capital account of the assessee. . For computation of Tax , Agriculture Income (if > Rs. 5000) is added to the total income for rate purpose only. So , in case total income is taxable, then only such addition is required. . Tax on (Total Income+ Agriculture Income) is first calculated. . From the above Tax on (Taxable Limit+Agriculture Income) is deducted. . The net amount is Tax payable and we may proceed further by adding EC, HSEC etc. .
