Sr I am a CA student and aware of exemption U/s 54 but recently i came to know that the capital gain on the sale of agricultural land which is in the place where population is below 10000 (Ten thousand only) is totally exempt from tax. I mean there is no further condition of specific investment and deposits in Govt. account. Is there any provision and section under Income Tax act? Please guide me for the same in both the condition Long Term and Short Term.
