Debate on Land in Nagar Panchayat: Is It a Capital Asset Under Section 2(14) of Income Tax Law? A query was raised regarding whether land located in a Nagar Panchayat area with a population under 10,000 qualifies as a capital asset under income tax laws. The land is not listed in Notification No.9447 and is more than 8 kilometers from the nearest municipal corporation. One respondent argued that lack of notification does not automatically make it a capital asset, as it does not meet the definition under Section 2(14). Another stated that land is a capital asset regardless of municipal limits. A third opinion suggested that if the land is agricultural, it would not be considered a capital asset. (AI Summary)
