Exemption under section 54B can be claimed in respect of capital gains arising on transfer of capital asset, being agricultural land (may be long-term or short-term).

This benefit is available only to an individual or a HUF.

The land should be used for agricultural purpose at least for two years. all the conditions of section 54B need to be satisfied and then assessee can claim the benefit of section 54B by purchasing another agricultural land within the time-limit specified under section 54B.

Dear sir
This is not my question. I clearly say this is out of capital gain.. I want to ask in which section rural agricultural land will be exempt.

Same thing I replied.

Capital Gain on Sale of Rural Agri Land will be exempt under 54B subject to conditions as contained in 54B

@ Ajay Jangir

Agricultural Land , so called rural Agri Land
Such Agri Land is not a capital asset and hence no question of capital gain arises.

These provisions are contained in definition section 2(14)(iii) .

Agri Land meeting criterias contained in 2(14)(iii) are not regarded as capital asset and hence gain is exempt.
