its a agriculture income.

 

Diary farming comes under Agriculture Income. That does not mean you have not to file return. You have to file return and take the income as exempt. But if profits are invested in FDs etc then the int part  is taxed after the min limit. Again you invest in stocks and have STCg then again u r taxed.

However, the breeding of livestock, aqua culture, dairy farming, and poultry farming on agricultural land cannot be construed as agricultural operations.
