04 August 2017 if an assessee does not own farm(land),but he takes it on a rent from actual owner(farmer) for farming purpose,my question is whether income from the sales of crop grown in that farm will be considered as agriculture income and so exempt from tax?

05 August 2017 it is exempt only...any rent paid to the owner of the farm in form of cash, kind or profit share shall also be considered exempt in the hands of the owner.
