Quick Summary

A retired individual who sold rural agricultural land for £60 Lakhs is seeking advice on the correct Income Tax Return (ITR) form and how to declare the sale. While the sale of rural agricultural land is generally not taxable, it's crucial to ensure the land meets exemption criteria based on its distance from municipal limits according to the latest census. The advice suggests continuing with ITR 1 and disclosing the gain under exempt income.

08 August 2021 I am a retired person and I have been using ITR 1 as less income 50 Lakhs for filing my ITR.
Recently, I sold my Rural Village Agricultural Land at 60 Lakhs in FY 2020-21.
I wish to know – 1) which ITR form I should use? 2) Where to show in ITR Form as sales of Rural agricultural land not taxable as per Income Tax Rules.

1) you may continue to use ITR1
2) you may disclose the gain under exempt income.

02 February 2022 you must ensure whether the agri land you are talking about fall within the exempted criteria based on distance from local limits of applicable municipaplity/corporation based on latest census.
