This discussion clarifies whether non-agricultural land compulsorily acquired by the government is exempt from tax under the Land Acquisition Act. It confirms that acquisitions under the RFCTLAAR Act (which replaced the earlier Land Acquisition Act) are indeed tax-exempt. This exemption has been applicable since 2016, as detailed in circular no. 36.

I have read RFCTLARR is replacement to earlier Land Acquisition Act. Is it true? Because with this any acquisition coming under Land Acquisuiton Act will be exempt.
