23 July 2016 Any agricultural land situated in RURAL area is not a Capital Assets hence there is NO capital gain in this. There has been little change in calculation of RURAL are wef AY 14-15. As the sale has been made in FY 2009-10 (AY 10-11) definition of Rural area (applicable upto AY 13-14 will be applicable which says "any area which is outside the jurisdiction of a municipality or cantonment board having population of 10000 or more and also which does not fall within 8 KM of such municipality or cantonment board. Please check location of such land. In my view this is not Capital Assets hence NO capital gain & no need for any disclosure.
