Exemption under section 54B can only be claimed by an individual.
1) You can claim this exemption only if urban agricultural land transferred is used by you or your parents for agricultural purpose during 2 years immediately before the date of transfer of such agricultural land.
2) You have purchased another agricultural land whether rural or urban to be used for agricultural purpose within 2 years from the date of transfer of original agricultural land.
The amount of exemption is equal to the amount invested in the purchase of new agricultural land subject to the amount of capital gain.
