I also received compensation by NHAI land acquisition on May 2015. The award was served in 2014. My agricultural land is within 2kms radius of a Town Panchayat. My AO is denying tax exemption because the town panchayat has population more than 10000 and the land is located within 2kms of Town Panchayat.
Will this compensation be exempt from Income Tax / Capital Gain Tax because of the effect of RFCTLARR Act 2013 that became effective from 01-Jan-2014?
