Income tax on sale of rural agriculture land

425 views 3 replies
As per definition of capital asset rural agriculture land has been excluded from the scope of definition so there is no scope of getting capital gain on such rural agriculture land but should we treat it as income from other source? please help with proper reference

In some cases, when you sell Agricultural Land – it may be entirely exempt from income tax or it may not be taxed under the head Capital Gains –

Agricultural land in Rural Area in India is not considered a capital asset. Therefore any gains from its sale are not taxable under the head Capital Gains. For details on what defines an agricultural land in a rural area, see details of capital assets
I know there will not be any capital gain because rural agriculture land is not a capital asset but we can treat it as income from other soource?
