now the consideration Rs. 50,00,000/- received for sale of right to business in that area / net work . the amount received whethere capital gain or business income and how it will be taxed, 30% as General Business income or tax under capital gain at 10%/ 20%

If right to do business in that area is permanent and he can transfer his rights in future as he likes then it becomes sale of business and capital gain will be attracted.
If the amount received is like a licence fee for certain number of years then it becomes a business income and to be treated as busines income.
