13 September 2008 It is presumed that the land is an agricultural land and also the same is not a notified land. In such a case the gain of Rs 250000 may be booked seperately which will ultimately be transferred to the Capital Account. Further, the purchase of new land may be booked as a new asset in the Balance Sheet. However, the gain being exempt from Income Tax is not required to be shown under the head of Capital Gain.
