The Commissioner of Income Tax IV vs. Nyse Infrastructure (P) Ltd.,
What did the High Court hold?
The High Court dismissed the appeal filed by the Revenue.

The monetary limit for filing an appeal before the High Court was fixed at Rs. 2.00 crore. The Court found that the tax effect in the instant appeal was well below this monetary limit.

The Court also stated that if the appeal fell within any exception of Circular No. 5 of 2024, the Income Tax Department could seek revival of the appeal. No costs were awarded.
