If a person gives agricultural land on lease for solar power generation, is the lease rent exempt as agricultural income u/s 10(1)or taxable under the Income Tax Act? Under which head of income will it be taxed and whether TDS u/s 194I is applicable? Also,is there any other exemption or benefit available under the Income Tax Act for such income?
