It is going to be the simple and straight forward. Enjoy reading this article!!!
Tax Calculation For Agriculture Income
- If you have only agricultural income, then the income is not taxable. It is fully exempt. For example your total agricultural income is Rs.340000 per year and there is no other source of income. In this case you are not required to pay any tax and file the tax returns.
- If you have agricultural income and other sources of income, then you are required to file the returns and show the agricultural income. Even if the total income is below the taxable income.
- For example your agricultural income is Rs.100000 and the income from other sources is Rs.50000. The total income is Rs.150000. For the above scenario you need to file the returns and show the agriculture income.

If you look into the second table with agriculture income, there is no tax for agriculture income. But, it gets the rebate at lower rate when other sources of income get the tax rate at the higher tax rate. In this way agriculture income can make the difference in your tax rates. I hope you can understand the calculating the agricultural income tax.

Because the income is non-taxable and the calculation comes into picture only when there is non-agricultural income. Thank you for reading this article!!!

Mai Kisan hoon, Mujhe tax dene mein koi harj nahi, lekin government mujhe poori azaadi dena chahiye meri fasal bechene ke mamle mein. Agar main international bazaar ke rates pe international customers ko fasal bech pata hoon to mai bhi garv se tax bharne ke liye tayyar hoon. Agar manjoor hai to mai bhi tayyar hoon tax bharne ke liye or desh ki unnati mein bhaagidaar hone ke liye…

Hi,
I have a firm which earns revenue from agricultural activities. My drawings from this firm of which I am the proprietor, is deposited in a savings account which is in my personal name. This amount earns me substantial SB interest. How will this SB interest which is earned, be treated from a taxation standpoint?
I also have some FDs(Fixed Deposits) in my name whose source is agricultural income. How will the interest earned from these FDs, be treated from a taxation standpoint?
