ACIT, CC 6(2), MUMBAI, MUMBAI vs. CADS PROPERTIES PRIVATE LIMITED, JVPD MUMBAI

At the very initial stage of the hearing on 17.09.2025, Ld. Authorized Representative of the assessee (in short ‘Ld.AR’) submitted that the amount of addition was picked up as amount of the tax effect and declared by the revenue in the aforesaid appeals, thus the same is a defect in the appeal. He clarified that the actual tax effect for A.Y. 2021-22 is Rs. 48,63,150/- and for A.Y. 2022-23, it is Rs. 50,07,600/- only. 4. It is submitted by Ld.AR that as per CBDT circular No. 9/2024 dated 17.09.2024, the tax effect for filing of appeal before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal was increased to 60,00,000/- and as per para 5 of the said circular such modification in the monetary limits has its application on the appeals pending before the Tribunal. Copy of circular is also submitted before us. The submission of the Ld. AR was confronted to the Ld. CIT DR representing the revenue to which he requested for a day’s time for its verification from the assessment records with the ld. Assessing Officer. On next date of hearing i.e. 18.09.2025, Ld. CIT DR conceded that the submission of Ld.AR is correct and acceptable, as the tax effect in both the aforesaid appeals is below the prescribe monetary limit of Rs. 60,00,000/-. Therefore, CBDT’s Circular No. 9/2024 dated 17.09.2024 enhancing the monetary limits of filing of appeal by department before the ITAT would have application to the present appeals.

Having considered the facts and submissions in the present matters. We find that appeal filed by revenue in ITA No. 3876/Mum/2025 and 3877/Mum/2025, challenging the respective orders of commissioner of appeals by the department are consist of tax effect below Rs. 60,00,000/-. Therefore, the same are not maintainable, accordingly both the appeals of revenue stand dismissed.
