01 January 2015 No interest income is not exempt from tax..And land measurement is not much relevant it depends upon how much business you are creating and how much income you are showing in return of past years.

01 January 2015 The reply to your query is as below:

1. Interest income of FDR is taxable under income from other sources.

2. To substantiate the agricultural income various proof may be required viz. proof of agricultural produce, proof of sale i.e. receipt from APMC or bill issued to seller, proof of receipt of payment.

3.The source of income need to have direct nexus with the income disclosed. So it will depend on the income tax returns filed by assessee and also on the supporting evidences available with the assessee.
