A salaried individual sold agricultural land in a rural area during FY 2013-14. As per Section 2(14), this land isn't considered a capital asset, making the sale proceeds a capital receipt, not income. The query questions whether this capital receipt needs to be declared in the 'exempted income' column of the ITR. Following receipt of a Section 148 notice, the user seeks guidance on whether to amend the return to include it as exempted income or to reply stating the original return was filed correctly.
