1. Sale of rural agriculture land is Exempt from tax. ( I assume you received all sale proceeds in Cheque only)
2. Income of sale proceeds of agriculture products like wheat, rice and vegitables grown by you on your land, than also it's agriculture income, and Exempt from tax..
3. SFT 004 Cash deposits other than current account reflacted in 26AS is also,I think from agriculture Income, if this cash is from other sources, i.e non-agriculture than you have to reply accordingly.
4. If your All income is agriculture income, than its totally Exempt. So, you are not required to file Income tax return.
