Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax implications of selling agricultural land. It explains that TDS is generally not applicable to genuine agricultural land sales. The original purchase price, even after gifting, is used for calculating capital gains. However, if the land is classified as urban agricultural land under the Income Tax Act, capital gains tax will apply, with rates varying based on the holding period.

1. If this land is actually agricultural land, then TDS is not applicable

2. in this case, the cost of acquisition is the cost to your grandmother i.e. 5 L

3. no capital gains will be chargeable on the agricultural land
.....if the land is considered urban agriculture land as per income tax act, then we have to compute capital gains on it?
Yes... If Urban agriculture land is sold after 2 years of purchase, it is classified as long term and taxable @ 20%. If Urban agriculture land is sold before 2 years of purchase, it is classified as Short term and taxable @ 30%
