Quick Summary
Income generated from fish farming, including in ocean and coastal areas, is generally considered taxable business income. This is because it doesn't involve traditional agricultural operations on land. However, there's an exemption for income derived from fish farming activities undertaken by a co-operative society, which is exempt under Section 80P of the Act.
Whether Income from Fish Farming(Jhinga) is agricultural Income: Fish farming is not an agricultural activity as no basic agricultural operation is carried out on land hence income from fish farming is taxable as business income.
However income of fish farming to a co-operative society is exempt u/s 80P of the Act. 14
