• The government has given two types of criteria for this, in which agricultural income has been made taxable.

1. You will not have to pay any tax if your agricultural income does not exceed Rs 5000 in the previous year
2. If you have an income of more than 250000 after deducting agricultural income from the total income of the previous year, then you will have to pay tax to the government.
