29 June 2016 Sir, My Agriculture land is situated within almost 5 km by road from nearest municipal corporation. My land is "compulsory acquired" by central government through state government in year 2004-05. We received compensation on 21.06.2016. Will the capital gain attract on our consideration.
Thanx in advance.
