Since your land was not a Capital asset, so it will not be taxable. You should reply to assesment officer after consulting your tax advisor.

Section 50C is not applicable to sale of agricultural lands if it is exempt.

Here you sold rural agri land which is exempt as it's not captial asset.

Section 50C talks about the determination of the sales consideration in certain circumstances in order to compute the capital gain arising from the transfer of capital assets being land or building or both .

(This talks about guide line value)

In nutshell, You are not liable for captital gain. But write a detailed explanatory letter alongwith copy of supporting documents.
