21 September 2009 Cultivation activities are being carried out by you therefore you are a farmer. In other words you may treat the income from agriculture activities also.

Income from cultivation of plants may be taken as agriculture income. For that you have to deduct the expenses of plantation from an estimated market value of plants had you purchased the same from the market or from others.

Remaining income from distillation will be treated as business income
