Mushroom Cultivation Income Qualifies for Agricultural Tax Exemption Under Section 10(1) After Meeting Essential Criteria

March 5, 2025

Case Laws     Income Tax     AT

ITAT determined that income derived from mushroom cultivation qualifies as agricultural income exempt under section 10(1). Following precedent from Inventaa Industries, the Tribunal affirmed that mushroom cultivation involves essential agricultural operations requiring human skill and labor on land to produce an edible commodity for consumption and trade. The cultivation process meets the fundamental criteria of agricultural activity through basic land operations resulting in a consumable product. The Revenue's appeal was dismissed, upholding the first appellate authority's ruling that mushroom farming income merits agricultural income classification and corresponding tax exemption.
