I am Former I sold my Paternal agricultural land for 58 lakh and in the same year if I bought another agricultural land for 16 lakh, would I have to give capital gains when the population of my village is 11 thousand and the land is 3 km from my village.

"What is the role of this rule in this subject" Section 54B

If the cost of the new agricultural land purchased is more than the number of capital gains, entire capital gains are exempt.

The land will come under the definition of Agricultural Land in rural area, hence outside the ambit of Capital Gain.
