Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, DELHI BENCH: ‘D’ NEW DELHI

Before: SHRI G.S. PANNU, HON’BLE & SHRI SAKTIJIT DEY

Hearing: 29.11.2022Pronounced: 29.11.2022

PER SAKTIJIT DEY, JM: The present appeal by the Revenue is directed against order dated 26.05.2014 passed by the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals)-XXIX, New Delhi, for the assessment year 2004-05.

2.

At the outset, learned Departmental Representative fairly submitted that the tax effect on the amount disputed by the Revenue in the present appeal is below the monetary limit of Rs.50,00,000/-. Hence, appeal is not maintainable.

4.

We have considered rival submissions and perused the materials on record. After perusing the respective orders of the departmental authorities and the ground raised in the memorandum of appeal filed in Form No. 36, we find that the tax effect on the amount disputed by the Revenue in the present appeal is below the monetary limit of Rs.50,00,000/- fixed in CBDT Circular no. 17/2019 dated 08.08.2019 for filing an appeal before the Tribunal. There is nothing on record to suggest that the appeal of Revenue is protected by any of the exceptions to the aforesaid circular. Thus, in our view, the present appeal is covered under CBDT Circular No. 17/2019, dated 08.08.2019.

Accordingly, the appeal is deemed to have been withdrawn, hence, dismissed.

5.

In the result, the appeal is dismissed.
