Hi,
My father wants to sell his ancestral agricultural land (not under municipality limits). I have two questions:
1. What is the tax implications on the sale proceeds of the agricultural land under Indian tax laws.
2. He plans to prepay the home loan taken on the under construction residential property in a city, which is in a joint name (myself and my father). Are there any issues in doing this? Or any tax to be paid in this case?
Thanks,
Sale of Rural Agricultural Land is tax free....
No tax impact on the second one
capital gain on sale of agricultural land is exempt from tax provifde your father has used it for agricultural purpose only for atleast 2yrs .
as far as prepayment of home loan is concerned , there are no tax implications involve but you can do so as per the agreement between you and the financial instituion fom which you had taken the loan
sec 2(14), capital Assets doesnot cover agreeculture land which is in rural area, it is exception to the defination of capital Asset therefore no tax on the above item....

Exempt, no implications
Sale of Rural Agricultural Land is tax free....
No tax impact on the second case.
Agriculture land in rural area is not a capital assets so no there is no question of capital gain. Because capital gain arises when a capital asset sold.
Everybody here is saying exempt ....., But it is exempt only If agricultre land is in RURAL area.
My frend Abhinav, Is that land situated in rural area?
if yes then there will not be any tax implication on sale of the same.
Thanks.
