Dear Sir,

What is Agricultural Income?

The meaning of agricultural income is different in the Income Tax Act which comprises of the following three:

• Any revenue or rent received from any agricultural land in India. This does not pertain to the income earned from selling of agricultural land.
• Any income earned from agricultural land from the following activities:

• Agriculture; both basic and subsequent activities. Basic operations comprise of cultivation which included different activities that are performed using human skill and have an effect on the land.
• Any process by the owner of the land who receives the rent in a non-monetary way or the cultivator that results in agricultural produce which can be taken to the market to be sold
• By sale of the produce of the agricultural land

• Any income attributable to a farm house which is required for operations for agriculture. The building has to be situated close to the land and is required as a warehouse or as a house for residential purpose 

There is a complete tax rebate on agriculture income in these cases

• If your total agricultural income is less than Rs. 5,000;
• If the income from agricultural land is your only source of income i.e. no other income;
• Where you have both agricultural income and other income and if the total income excluding such agricultural income is less than the basic exemption limit.

But, in case, your agricultural income exceeds Rs. 5,000 and you have other sources of income too, then, the tax liability for that year is to be calculated following the procedure as under:

• Compute income tax on the aggregate income (i.e. agricultural income + other income) as per the prevailing income tax rates.
• Compute income tax on sum of amount of basic exemption limit plus agricultural income as per the prevailing income tax rates.
• Now, Compute (1) – (2) to arrive at the tax liability for the year.

NO violation. Married major daughter dose not consider family member of father.

Wife can hold agri. land if her income limit not exceed 25lacs per annum.

Your wife can purchase agriculture land .

under Section 79A or B of the Karnataka Land Reforms Act, 1961, in respect of the property in question. 79 A and B, the income is extended from 2 Lakh to 25 Lakh per annum. 79B prohibits of holding agricultural land by certain persons. For purposes of this section, it shall be presumed that a land is held by an institution, trust, company, association or body where it is held by an individual on its behalf.

1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that your wife has purchased the agricultural land as her father was also an agriculturist.
2. I would like to inform you that there is no such violation at your end of any prohibition act either central or state legislation as she is from the family of her father who was agriculturist.
3. In fact, there are people now a days, who have been with prior permission from the SDMs despite of non agriculturist are buying the the said land for the purpose of agriculture.
4. The law has not been little less stringent in comparison to initial phase of farming long time ago. This is also been done to encourage the farming activity more than the industrial one.
