Taxability in your case depends upon nature of land. 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.
If such agricultural land in not in rural Area, capital gains shall arise & TDS shall be deducted u/s 194IA @ 1% of the consideration payable to a resident transferor if a valid PAN is provided by the seller; if not, then TDS will be deducted @ 20%.

If such land is within the local limits of municipality as defined in 2(14), it is a capital asset and therefore tax is chargable. Liability to deduct TDS is of the buyer. So, if you are a buyer, you need to deduct TDS @ 1% of the consideration payable to a resident transferor if a valid PAN is provided by the seller; if not, then TDS will be deducted @ 20%. TDS will be claimed by the seller.
