28 July 2012 There is no question of exemption.

Capital Gain arises only when there is transfer of Capital Asset.

Sec 2(14) specifically excludes "Rural Agriculture Land" from the definition of Capital Asset.

Rural Agriculture Land is the land situated in any area where population is less than 10000 and situated atleast 8km away from the municipality.

So, there will not be any capital gain.
