22 October 2016 Rural agricultural land sale is exempted from tax. Show the amount under exempted income in ITR. You will not face any problem in not showing the amount in ITR but better to show it.

22 October 2016 yes, Gain on sale of agriculture land is exempt, however its better to show sale transaction in return under exempt section so as to proof u have disclosed your income in return in case any query is raised regarding that transaction
