Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that agriculture income is now taxable if it exceeds the exemption limit. While having only agricultural income might not result in tax if it falls below the threshold, it can impact your tax liability when combined with other income sources. Any agricultural income above the threshold will be added to your total income, potentially pushing you into higher tax brackets, even if the tax on the agricultural portion itself is calculated at lower rates.
If you have only agricultural income then no tax payable as deduction of agricultural income will result in no tax. In case there's any other income other than agricultural then one will have to pay tax depending upon the income tax slabs as total income will be taxable at higher slabs and deduction of tax paid for agricultural income will be as per lower tax slabs.This is a shrewd way of taxing agricultural income as agricultural income will be added to your other heads of income pushing total income to higher tax slabs while deducting tax paid on agriculture income at lower tax slabs! Agricultural income is no longer exempt!
