19 December 2013 It depends who has given the gift. If the gift is given by your blood relation then it is exempted but if it is given by others then yes it is taxable.

The difference between rural and urban agricultural land is that urban agricultural as and when sold will attract capital gains tax and rural land is situated beyond the Municipal limits and does not come under the definition of Capital assets is exempted.
