    <title>Agricultural Land Tax Exemption: Official Records Confirm Status Under Section 2(14)(iii)(b), Overturning Capital Gains Assessment</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=89264</link>
    <description>ITAT held that the subject lands qualify as agricultural lands under section 2(14)(iii)(b), exempting them from long-term capital gains taxation. The tribunal considered evidence including Patta certificates, Chitta Adangal, and revenue records demonstrating agricultural classification. Referencing prior Madras HC precedents, the tribunal affirmed land&#039;s agricultural status based on official documentation, irrespective of actual cultivation. Consequently, the tribunal set aside the CIT(A)&#039;s order confirming capital gains addition and allowed the assessee&#039;s appeal. Additionally, regarding section 14A disallowance, the tribunal directed the Assessing Officer to restrict disallowance proportionate to the exempt income earned during the relevant previous year.</description>
