PER: VIKRAM SINGH YADAV, A.M.
This is an appeal filed by the Revenue against the order of ld. CIT (A)- Ajmer dated 15.03.2018 for Assessment Year 2014-15 wherein the Revenue has taken the following grounds of appeal:-
“In view of the facts and circumstances of the case the Ld. CIT(A), Ajmer has erred in:
Whether looking to the facts and circumstances of the case the Ld. CIT(A) is justified in deleting of penalty u/s 271(1)(c) Rs. 16,52,500/-.”
2 ITA No. 796/JP/2018 ACIT, Ajmer vs. Jatan Construction Pvt. Ltd., Ajmer 2. The ld. D/R has submitted that the tax effect involved in the
Revenue’s appeal comes to Rs 16,52,500/- less than Rs 20 lacs which is prescribed threshold limit in terms of the CBDT Circular No. 3/2018 dated 11th
July, 2018 issued in supersession of its earlier Circular No. 21 of 2015 dated
10.12.2015.
We have heard both the parties and perused the material available on
record. It is observed that the demand/ tax effect in the Revenue’s appeal in question is below Rs. 20.00 lacs. Under the powers vested by section
268A(1) of the IT Act, CBDT has recently issued Circular No. 3/2018 11th dated July, 2018 (F No. 279/Misc. 142/2007-ITJ(Pt)
instructing the authorities below that departmental appeal should
not be filed before ITAT where the demand/tax effect does not
exceed Rs. 20 lacs. The circular is specifically mentioned to be applicable for
all pending appeals.
Subject to some exceptions, it is further directed by CBDT that all the
departmental appeals pending before ITAT where the demand/tax effect is
not exceeding than 20 lacs should be either withdrawn or not pressed by the
departmental representatives.
The present appeal is not covered by any exceptions mentioned in the
said CBDT circular. Since the tax demand in dispute in this departmental
appeal is below the limit set out by CBDT for the appeal, the appeal of the
assessee is not maintainable in view of CBDT Circular No. 3 of 2018 dated
11.07.2018. Accordingly the appeal of the Revenue is dismissed as not
pressed/withdrawn.
3 ITA No. 796/JP/2018 ACIT, Ajmer vs. Jatan Construction Pvt. Ltd., Ajmer In the result, the appeal of the Revenue is dismissed.
Order pronounced in the open Court on 13/08/2018.
