" ACCOUNTING TREATMENT & TAX LIABILITY REGARDING SALE OF INHERITED LAND WORTH OF RS 5 CRORE "
My client is an advocate , during the financial year 2013-14 , he sold inherited rural land via sale deed due to some financial reasons & At present he is the owner of some land ( inherited as well as purchased 10-15 yrs before ) worth of Rs 10-15 crores & now for the first time he wants to file income tax return .
Now I want to show all the immovable property ( i.e, land worth of Rs 10-15 crores ) in the balance sheet for the a.y 2014-15 ,
1) Can i do that ? if yes,

16 December 2014 Sale of rural agricultural land is exempted from tax.
You should have deposited the sale value in the bank account so file return for financial year 2013-14.
Your client being advocate will be earning taxable income, by clubbing agricultural income for rate purposes tax should have been paid and return filed during previous years.
