Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether income from selling agricultural land should be treated as business income or capital gains for tax purposes. Generally, frequent property dealing suggests business income, while isolated sales might be capital gains. However, rural agricultural land is often not considered a capital asset, meaning capital gains tax may not apply. The applicability of tax under the PGBP (Profits and Gains from Business or Profession) is also considered.

If assessee is dealing in selling and purchasing of properties then it is a business income but if his business is not that then it is considered to be capital gains.
It should be treated as nature of income

Rural agricultural land is not a capital asset and hence no tax on capital gain.

Not sure if we can tax this under PGBP.

Capital gains will not arise
