Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax implications of selling agricultural land. Generally, short-term capital gains on agricultural land are not taxable if the land was used for farming for at least two years prior to sale and the proceeds are reinvested in other land within two years. However, land situated within municipal limits or designated urban areas is considered a capital asset and may be subject to capital gains tax.

If it is within muncipale limit its taxable either non taxable ,
It's non taxable
SALE OF AGŔICULTURAL LAND IS SUBJÈCT TO THE FOLLOWING :
1.ANY CAPITAL GAIN BOTH SHORT TRM AND LONG TERM ARISING TO AN INDÌVIDUAL OR HUF FROM TRANSFER OF ANY LAND WHICH WAS USED BY THE ASSESE OR HIS PARENT FOR AGRICULTURAL PURPOSE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDDING TWO YEARS SHALL BE EXEMPT FROM TAX IF THE ASSESSE PURCHASES WITHIN TWO YEARS FROM THE DATE OF SUCH TRANSFER a
NY other land.
2 years has not completed of purchase of agriculture land then ?
No exemption for short term capital gain

All the rural agriculture lands are outside the preview of capital assets as per section 2 (14) IT act

 

hence if your land is situationed in urban area . than it is taxable. 

in my view all the land situtaion in NCR is urban agriculature land.
