  5. ITAT Delhi · 27 Dec 2013
    S. 2(14) – Capital gains on sale of agriculture land - There is no enabling provision in the income tax prescribing that even if the assessee’s income is exempt by a provision, then it can be forcibly brought into the tax net by assuming the assessee’s activity to be adventure in the nature of trade. The sale of investment portfolio is always taxed as capital gains. Thus agriculture land in terms of sec. 2(14) i.e. not being an asset; its transfer will neither attract capital gain tax nor can be treated as business income. Therefore the assessee’s gains were profits from sale of specified agriculture land which does not come within the definition of asset as prescribed u/s 2(14) and by virtue of sec. 2(1A)(a) read with sec. 2(14)(iii) r.w.s. 10(1) the assessee’s gains from sale of such agriculture land are exempt income.
