Quick Summary
If you've sold agricultural land in India, tax implications depend on its location. Gains from rural agricultural land are typically tax-exempt. For non-rural agricultural land, you can claim an exemption under Section 54B of the Income Tax Act by purchasing new agricultural land within two years of the sale.
If it is rural agriculture land then it is exempted without any condition. If its is not rural agri land then you can exempted from tax if you purchase new agri land within 2 years from the date of sale.
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 Capital Gain on sale of agriculture land other than rural agriculture land you can claim exemption under section 54B by purchase of another land for the agricultural purpose within a period of 2 years from the date of transfer of this land by individuals and HUF.
