Hi, 100% sure "NOT TAXABLE " rural agriculture land is not a capital asset by virtue of definition of section 2(14) of income tax act 1961.
Rural Agricultural land is not a Capital Asset within the meaning of Sec-2(14). Hence, there is no question of capital gain.

no any capital gain.....................

It is fully exempt u/s 10(37). Therefore no need to see other sections of capital gain.
