Sale of rural agricultural land in India by an NRI, even if inherited and held for over 100 years, does NOT attract capital gains tax, as rural agricultural land is not a capital asset under the Income-tax Act. Sale proceeds must be credited to the NRO account, and repatriation abroad is allowed up to USD 1 million per financial year, subject to standard FEMA documentation (Form 15CA/15CB, sale deed, inheritance proof).
