Taxability of Agricultural income
Agricultural income is exempt from Income Tax under section 10(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. However, its included, for rate purposes, in computing the Income Tax Liability if following two conditions are cumulatively satisfied:
1. Net Agricultural income exceeds INR 5,000/- for P.Y. 2019-20, and
2. Total income, excluding net Agricultural income, exceeds INR 2,50,000/-.
Kindly note that the aforementioned condition at Serial No.2 shall change to INR 3,00,000/- in case if the Assessee is an individual who falls in the age bracket of 60 to 79 Years during the P.Y. 2019-20, and to INR 5,00,000/- in case if the Assessee is an individual who is of the age of 80 Years or more during the P.Y. 2019-20.
Steps to Calculate Tax on Agricultural income
Once the aforementioned conditions are satisfied then we shall compute the Tax liability in the following manner:
- First, include the Agricultural income while computing your income Tax liability. Example – Let us say that an Individual Assessee has a Total income of INR 7,50,000/- (excluding Agricultural income) and a Net Agricultural income of INR 100,000/-. Then, per this step, Tax shall be computed on INR 7,50,000/- + INR 1,00,000/- = INR 8,50,000/-. Thus, income Tax amount as per this step shall be INR 82,500/- for an individual who is below the age of 60 Years during the P.Y. 2019-20.
- Second, add the applicable basic Tax slab benefit, as applicable, to the Net Agricultural income. Thus, per our example mentioned above we shall add INR 2,50,000/- to INR 1,00,000/- as the applicable Tax slab benefit available to an individual below 60 Years of age is INR 2,50,000/-. Now we will compute income Tax on INR 3,50,000/- (Tax slab benefit 2,50,000 + Net Agricultural income 1,00,000). The amount of Tax shall be INR 10,000/-.
- Third, subtract the Tax computed in Second step from the Tax computed in First step = INR 72,500/-. Thus, this is the income Tax liability subject to deductions, Education cess etc., as applicable.

In your Example : – Second no. point Calculation of Agriculture income rebate Is wrong , Please correct it .
Calculate tax liability
1.agricultural income – 86000
2. Income from manufacturing rubber- 644000
If taxpayer is below 60 year then
If normal income (example salary ,house propery ,capital gain , business profession ,other source ) = 200000
Casual income( lottery) = 60000
Agriculture income = 8000
In this case agriculture income is more than 5000
& non agriculture income consider 200000 or 260000
Because 60000 is casual income also

Respected CA Sahil Joly,
Sir, as per my knowledge and information, Chartered Accountants should not provide their firm name along with their Contact No.and their mail id as it seems like you are trying to solicit clients for which a CA becomes guilty of professional misconduct as per The Chartered Accountants Act.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks.
So I deduced that agricultural income slowly increases your tax up to 1 lac (for 10 Lac of agri income)and thereafter the tax difference (between with and without agri income) remains fix at 1 Lac whatever amount the agri income increases.
Hi,
As always its nice to see the comments of the respected personnel.
Just to clarify, the method of computation of Agricultural Income essentially remains the same. Its just that due to change in the respective Income Tax slabs it becomes necessary to apply the basic deduction accordingly.
Purpose of this post was mainly to illustrate computation of Tax liability in case if one has Agricultural income as well. However, its just that the latest Income Tax slabs, per Finance (No.) Act 2014 has been deployed to illustrate the same.

There is no change in Finance (No 2) Act, 2014. The title post amendment Finance(NO 2) Act, projects that there is some change in the provisions and seems misleading.
very gud post
How is the position different than the existing one? Was there any amendment made in the latest FA? The title “post amendment by FA 2014” is misleading.
What is New in that??????
what is the password to unprotect the sheet?
What is new?
Very good post and informative. I just cannot deciper the logic behind such caclulation. Paricularly the deduction part of it.
