No. ITR-1 allows agricultural income only up to ₹5,000. Above that, use ITR-2, which has a schedule for agricultural income details.

Provisions

Rule 12, Income-tax Rules 1962 (now Rule 164, Income-tax Rules 2026); Sec 10(1), Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 11)

Analysis

Agricultural income is exempt, but above ₹5,000 it must be reported in ITR-2 with land details. Under the old regime with income above the basic limit, it can push other income into a higher rate through partial integration. Keep land records and sale receipts.
