📌 What Counts as Agricultural Income?
Agricultural income includes:
🚜 Farming earnings
🏞️ Rent from agricultural land
🍇 Income from processing agricultural produce
✅ It is exempt from income tax but must be reported in your ITR if you also have other taxable income.
📝 Reporting Agricultural Income in ITR
If agricultural income exceeds ₹5,000, report it under the ‘Exempt Income’ section.
If you have other taxable income, agricultural income affects your tax slab (partial integration).
📊 Tax Treatment Under Presumptive Taxation
Income from processing produce beyond the basic stage is taxable.
Keep agricultural and non-agricultural portions clearly separated to avoid misreporting.
📂 Documents to Keep Ready
📜 Land ownership/lease records
🏠 Rent agreements
🧾 Sale receipts & expense proofs
These help substantiate agricultural income during tax scrutiny.
💰 Impact on Tax Liability
Agricultural income is tax-free itself but can push other income into a higher tax bracket.
Higher earnings may trigger a higher surcharge.
