Ag.land is not come under the definition of capital gain asset and so there is no capital gains on the sale of such land.If the land situated within 8 kms from the limits of a Municipality,Corporation,...which is having more than 10,000 population,then the Ag.land attracts capital gains.Please refer sec 54B of Income Tax Act.
