No capital gain tax on sale of agricultural lands.

but be sure if it is an agricultural land. where it is located matters a lot. sometimes people think it is an agricultural land but as per income tax it can fall under urban area.

Under Section 54B of the Income Tax Act, there are provisions for exemptions on capital gains arising from the transfer of agricultural land. The main conditions for availing this exemption include:

Utilization of Sale Proceeds: The taxpayer should utilize the sale proceeds to purchase another agricultural land within a specified period.
