When you sell land for a profit, it's generally considered taxable income under capital gains. The standard tax rate is 20%, plus a 4% cess, making the effective rate 20.8%. However, you may be able to reduce your tax burden by investing the proceeds in specific ways outlined in the Income Tax Act. For personalised guidance on available exemptions, you can reach out to an expert.

Yes this is taxable income.
The rate of tax would be 20% and cess of 4% so ultimate rate is 20.8% and if planned properly you could save taxes by investing the proceeds as prescribed in the income tax act.
