Hi

Since it's was a rural agricultural land, it cannot be termed as a capital asset. Thus, there would be no capital gains and hence no question of capital gain exemption.

Such sale shall have to be shown as an exempt income in ITR.

As far as selection of form is considered, you can use any ITR based on your other sources of income. 

If you had agricultural income exceeding INR 5000, you will have to file ITR 2.

Please note that such sale of rural agricultural land doesn't mean agricultural income.

We may discuss the issues further.

Sale of rural agricultural land is not liable to income tax it is not a capital asset as per income tax act.

Hence you are not liable to file income tax return for this transaction and no need to show it in income tax return.

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you

ITR-2
