28 September 2011 Sir,
I am a govt. servant. I am paying income tax and filed income tax return.
I have a ancestral agricultural land in rural area which is ten km far from manciple area. In the year 2009 I sold a piece of this land sum of Rs. 16.3 Lakh. In this regard, I have to need to some quarry.
Whether I have to pay income tax on this sale? or exempted?
Whether I have to show this amount in income tax return?
If I have to pay income tax, up to what amount?
It is, therefore, requested that kindly inform me.
Thank u very much.
