Dear expert, One of my client had sold his agriculture land which is in rural area (out of municipal area) for Rs. 1300000/-. My query is that, whether can he use the above mentioned sum in his personal use like daughter`s marriage or he has to invest the said amount in purchase of another agriculture land to avoid capital gain. Please advise me

Gain on sale of agricultural land in rural areas as defined by the IT act exempted from tax and no need to satisfy any other conditions. So No doubt at all he can utilize such amount for his personal use.
