1. Capital gain arising on transfer of rural agricultural land is AGRICULTURAL INCOME.
2. Agricultural income is defined in Section 2 as agricultural income means, inter alia, any rent or REVENUE derived from land which is situated in India and is used for agricultural purposes.
Revenue will include gain arising on transfer.
Accordingly, in my opinion, it should be included for rate purposes.
Views of other experts are invited.

Thanx for your opinion sir....
As per section 2(1A), agriculture income means -
any rent or revenue derived from land which is situated in India and USED FOR AGRICULTURAL PURPOSES.
Can I Claim that the assessee was not using the land for agricultural purposes because in section 2(14) {Definition of Capital Asset} , there is no condition that the land should be actually used by assessee for agricultural purposes.
Only conditions are that it should be 8 Kms away from local muncipality, population should be less than 10000 etc.

Yes you can say that the land was NOT used for agricultural purposes and was a vacant land.
In that case, the gain shall NOT be agricultural income.
In that case, the gain shall NOT be agricultural income.

As per Capital gain taxability capital gain arises on sale of Capital Assets and as per definition of Capital Assets Agriculture Land is not Capital Asset
So its Non Taxable
and its a capital Receipt therefore should not be included
its not a Rent or Revenue.
