12 April 2019 Hi sir,

In Sep 2018, I had sold a farm that I had inherited through my grandfather. It fulfills the criteria of being a 'Rural Agriculture Land' as per the Section 2(14) in The Income- Tax Act, 1961. So I am not liable to pay any long term capital gain tax. So, can you please guide me what all documents will I need to furnish to prove that the land which I sold was a rural agricultural land and not an urban agriculture land. Thanks in advance.

14 April 2019 8/12 document establishes the nature of the land. So refer to that or the tehsildar/talati's land records. Unless these documents suggest that the land was rural agricultural land, you cannot claim that it was exempt from taxes.
