From the information you have given you are producing your own agricultural products and selling them, to costitute income from agriculture. If this is so, your income is exempt.
Thank you for your reply. Regarding Income Tax amendment 2008 on continuing business by NGO/NPO: Our organisation already has 12A exemption.
- Can we continue with our agriculatural produce and sale without loosing our 12A exemption???
- As our animal welfare hospitals provide free treatments for small and large animals, we need to know, if we are considered a part of "Medical care" as mentioned in the amendment???
