Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, “A” BENCH, PUNE
Before: SHRI R.S.SYAL, VP & SHRI PARTHA SARATHI CHAUDHURY, JM
आदेश / ORDER PER PARTHA SARATHI CHAUDHURY, JM :
This appeal preferred by the Revenue emanates from the order of the Ld. CIT(Appeals)-2, Nashik dated 19.10.2016 for the assessment year 2011- 12 as per the grounds of appeal on record.
2 ITA No.39 /PUN/2017 A.Y.2011-12
The CBDT Circular No.17/2019 [F No.279/Mise.142/2007-ITJ (Pt)], dated 08-08-2019 read with Circular No.3 of 2018 dated 11.07.2018 has revised the upward monetary limits for filing of appeals in Income Tax Cases before various Appellate Forums. The earlier CBDT Circular No.03/2019 dated 11.07.2018 fixed monetary limit for filing of appeals before the Tribunal at Rs.20 Lakhs. Such limit has been enhanced in the recent CBDT Circular dated 08.08.2019 from Rs.20 lakhs to Rs. 50 Lakhs. It appeals from the record that the tax effect involved in this appeal is Rs.24,44,838/-. Thus, the tax effect on the addition is less than Rs.50 Lakhs.
The Ld. DR fairly admitted that in the present appeal by the Department tax effect is less than Rs.50 Lakhs.
We have heard the submissions of Ld. DR. The Revenue is in appeal against the order of Ld. CIT(Appeals) in deleting the additions. Undisputedly, the tax effect involved in these appeals is less than the monetary limit prescribed by the recent CBDT Circular No.17/2019 [F No.279/Mise.142/2007-ITJ (Pt)] dated 08-08-2019 read with Circular No.3 of 2018 dated 11.07.2018 for filing of appeals before the Tribunal by the Department. The CBDT vide circular dated 08.08.2019 (supra.) has amended Para 3 of Circular No.3 of 2018 dated 11.07.2018 thereby enhancing monetary limit of tax effect from Rs.20 Lakhs to Rs.50 Lakhs for filing appeals by the Department before the Tribunal. Thus, without going into merit of the issues raised in the appeal, in view of the CBDT Circular (supra) the present appeal of the Revenue is dismissed on account of low tax effect.
Before parting, we clarify here that the Revenue shall be at liberty to approach the Tribunal for restoration of appeal, with the requisite material to
3 ITA No.39 /PUN/2017 A.Y.2011-12
show that the appeal is protected by the exceptions prescribed in Para 10 of the Circular dated 11-07-2018 and its amendment dated 20-08-2018.
In the result, appeal of the Revenue is dismissed.
Order pronounced on 24th day of September, 2019.
