26 October 2012 Thanks for the Reply. I have posted the same in Forum Pls see and reply.




26 October 2012 One more clarification to you according to the section 2(1A) specified area means

" a) any area which is comprised within the jurisdiction of a municipality or a cantonment board and which has a population of not less than 10000 according to the last preceding census of which the relevant population figures have been published before the first day of the previous year.

(OR)

b) any area within the distance of 8 kms from the limits of such municipality or cantonment board and notified by the central government in the Official Gazette."

The Agricultural land which is not situated in the specified area(i.e above explained) and gain on such land is not liable for tax.

26 October 2012 So the agricultural land situated with in 8 Kms from municipality limits is liable capital gain tax eventhough such village population is less than 10000


As well as the land is situated not with in 8 kms from municipality limits but the situated village population is more than 10000 then also liable for capital gain tax.


Conclusion: So to get the agricultural land capital gain tax exemption such land doesn't situated with in 8 kms from municipality limits as well as doesn't situate in a village which has population of more than 10000.
