Agriculture land

Rural agricultural land is exempt. But if same falls in urban area, it's liable to Cap Gain.

Refer clause iii of sec 2 (14) -definition of capital asset and check accordingly in your case.

AGREED                                        

Agriculture Land: agriculture land in rural area is not covered in definition of Capital asset hence no capital gain is applicable in case of sale of agriculture land in rural area .However capital gain tax is applicable if land is situated in urban area.

Yes he can claim ... but loan must be for house property.

DEAR ALL,

                   OPEN LAND MONTHLY RENTAL INCOME IS TAXABLE OR NOT & IF TAXABLE CAN WE DEDUCT 30% FROM TOTAL RENTAL INCOME OR NOT - PLZ GIVE ME CLARIFICATION  - MARUTHI RAM CHMARUTHI7 @ GMAIL.COM

for agricultural land, whether falling in the limits of the muncipality etc. is a difficult task, u may get the certificate of thesame from the Tahsildar of ur area.........

Land Rent shall be taxable under the head "Other sources" and not in "House Property". So no deduction u/s 24(a) of 30% will be allowed. Only "Buildings & Land appurtenat thereto" are taxable under the head "House Property".

Section22 to 27 only covers House property i.e (Building & Land appurtanant therto) and not only Land. So the income from land is to be assessable under 'Other source' and not under 'house property income'.  So no deduction u/s 24 b will be allowed. You can claim any expense that you've incurred for earning that rent from 'other source income'
