Section 10 (1) exempts agricultural income from rural areas exempt from tax. from A.Y.2014-15 the definition of Rural Area has been modified. It depends on the population of that Muncipality.

From Assessment year 2014-2015 Rural area means

Any area which is outside the jurisdiction of a municipality or cantonment board having a population of 10,000 or more is considered Rural Area, if it does not fall within distance(to be measured aerially) given below –

2kms from local limit of municipality or cantonment board, if population of such board is more than 10,000 but not more than 1lakh

6kms from local limit of municipality or cantonment board,If the population such board is more than 1lakh but not more than 10 lakh

8kms from local limit of municipality or cantonment board,if the population of such board is more than 10lakh
