Capital gains on sell of inherited rural agriculture land

Hi Garvit,

Since you have sold rural agricultural land, it is not a capital gain.

Hence, no cap gains tax has to be paid.

As for buying new house, you can do the same. But keep in mind that you have to invest full Rs. 30 Lakhs in buying the new house.

Garvitji,

Your understanding is correct. Sale of agriculture land does not attract Capital Gain, it is exempt.

You can purchase house property.

But i dont agree with Pratik Agrawalji to invest full consideration as it is exempt.

Members, Please correct me if I'm wrong.

If you read the definition of capital asset u/s 2(14), you will realize that if the agricultural land is situated within 8 km of any urban area, then it is treated as capital asset and capital gains is payable on sale.  Merely because it is rural and agricultural land does not automatically qualify for exemption from capital gains.

Please Friends Reply that capital gain is exmpeted under which section.????

hello,

i have sold my agriculture land to 50lakhs. it is not falling in the capital gain area. so it is fully tax execpted.

but i want to invest only 20 lakh in buying property & 30 lakh i have to put in FD so it is possible or not ? in these case how much tax i have to pay

kindly revert back with your valuable suugestions.

Dear Nilesh,

gain from sale of agriculture land in rural area is free from tax (not a capital asset)

in ur case, the gain if tax-free. further you can invest the money in property (any) or FD.

but interest on FD will not be tax free.
