whether in rural area or urban area

Suburb area

If the agricultural land is in Urban Area it will be taxable and capital gain tax has to be paid on it. However, you can claim indexed cost of acquisition and cost of improvement (if any) as deduction from the sale consideration.

If the agricultural land is in Rural area, its not capital asset as per IT act, hence no capital gain or no tax liability.
