An agriculture land situated beyond the municipal limit is not a Capital Asset. * It must be used for agriculture purpose before not more than 2 years of its conversion. * In that case no capital gain would arise on conversion of such land. * The market value as on conversion date will be its cost for the purpose of calculating business profits from sell of developed plots or land.
