Quick Summary
This discussion explores the taxability of selling agricultural land, particularly concerning a Rs 96 lakh sale in 2014-15. Generally, agricultural land in rural areas is not considered a capital asset and is exempt from Capital Gains tax. However, recent government measures may reclassify land previously considered rural. If the land is deemed a capital asset and specific reinvestment conditions under Section 54B haven't been met, capital gains tax may apply.

Not taxable.
What if the amount is not used as per section 54B
Agriculture land situated in Rural area are exempt from Capital Gains tax as it is not considered as Capital Asset. So check whether land is situated in Rural or in urban area and then decide the taxability.

IN MY VIEW, NOWADAYS ALL THE AGRICULATURE LAND ARE OUTSIDE RURAL LAND TAG. Because Govt made many measure like air distance, population, municipal committe measure. 

So Don't treat any land as exempt land. 

if you have not did investments etc as per section 54 B than IT Depatment can levi taxes, penalties 

To attract capital gain there should be capital asset..Rural agriculture land will not be considered as capital asset for the purposes of capital gains
Did the department get details of the buyer of the land? how did they come to know that you have sold land
Cash transactions are not allowed . What is the source to issue notices ?
