Yes, to my view it would be taxable as it does not satisfy the condition of section 2(1A) of the Income Tax Act.

But sir in villages all does this primarily . In large quantities but they never file the return. I have one comlexity sir our neighborhood deposited into bank in cash 2700000. Now notice came to him to furnish the information bout it . So i thought to show it in the way of jaggery . Now u cleared its not an agriculture . Thanks

AI Summary

Agricultural income classification: processed crop products like jaggery treated as non-agricultural and taxable on sale.
Jaggery produced from a cultivator's own sugarcane and sold in the market does not fall within the statutory definition of agricultural income; because the activity involves value adding processing into a marketable product, receipts from its sale are taxable rather than exempt agricultural income.
