A person has purchased a land situated in rural area. He sold it after 8 years by dividing it into 3 parts.

In sale deed it is mentioned as empty land without any trees or plantations.

Can we consider this land as rural agricultural land? If not, what is the taxation on this land?

rural area- if the land not fall within followings
-Municipality/ cantonment board having population 10,000 or more
