Sec. 2(14) enumerates definition of Capital assets and it excludes agriculture land from the perview of the “Capital Assets” fulfilling certain specified conditions. However, before referring the said definition, we have to first decide whether a land is an agriculture land or not”. It is a question of facts. There are so many tests/Guidelines evolved in the decisions of High Courts and Supreme Court for the same. Hence, we have to consider the same to decide whether a land is an agriculture land or not before we look at the definition of Capital Assets. For the same refer case-law of Smt. Sarifabibi Mohmed Ibrahim Vs.CIT (1993) 204 ITR 631(SC).
