If it is rural ag land (check relevant docs to ascertain whether it fits into the definition of rural ag land), it is entirely exempted as it not chargeable to tax.
if it does not fits into the definition of rural ag land but ag is done for last 2 years by assessee or by his parents, then purchase the ag land to get exemption of capital gain
