Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to determine if agricultural land falls within an urban area for capital gains tax calculations. The key is to check if the land is within the jurisdiction of a municipality or cantonment board, regardless of its official name. Information on whether your land is classified as urban or rural can often be obtained from the local Patwari or by checking municipal tax records.

From the municipality area of the assessee
I don't understand will you plz clarify
Agricultural land in India, not being land situate—
[a] in any area which is comprised within the jurisdiction of a municipality [whether known as a municipality, municipal corporation, notified area committee, town area committee, town committee, or by any other name] or a cantonment board
Thank you
Your welcome
And also plz tell that from where we can know that our agriculture land is under urban area or rural areas? means which department provide information
I don't have any idea on that, probably you could ask in the income tax dept ...
Sorry for that !!

If agri land is within municipal limits, then you must be paying muni tax if any.  Otherwise it's outside municipal limits.

As per my understanding municipal tax is not levied on agriculture land it is right?

You can take help of "Patwari" of that village to ascertain the distance from municipal area.

But take the distance from nearest Municipal area.

May take help of Google Map
