Quick Summary
The taxability of income from selling farm land depends on its location and how it's held. Generally, gains from selling rural agricultural land are exempt from income tax. However, if the land is urban, tax may apply unless it's compensation for compulsory acquisition. If selling farm land is your business or stock, it will be taxed as business income; otherwise, it's treated as capital gains.
