PER: VIKRAM SINGH YADAV, A.M.
This is an appeal filed by the Revenue against the order of ld. CIT (A)- Ajmer dated 28.03.2018 for Assessment Year 2014-15 wherein the Revenue has taken the following grounds of appeal:-
“On facts and in law, the Ld CIT(A), Ajmer erred in:-
deleting the addition of Rs. 45,15,529/- made u/s 68 of the I.T. Act, 1961 on account of bogus claim of LTCG u/s 10(38) and addition of Rs. 90,311/- made u/s 69C of the I.T. Act for
2 ITA No. 743/JP/2018 ITO, Ward-2, KIshangarh vs. Smt. Parul Jain, Rajvilla, Kishangarh commission payment, without appreciating the facts of the case and modus operandi of the scheme which clearly prove that all
the transactions were sham transactions and used as a colorable device to create documentary evidences for converting unaccounted money into tax exempt income.
deleting both the additions without appreciating the fact that the assessee made bogus claim of LTCG by availing accommodation entries in listed companies controlled by Shri Praveen Kumar Agarwal who accepted on oath that he was indulged in providing bogus LTCG/STCL entries and M/s PS IT Infrastructure & Services Limited was one of the beneficiaries. The Director of M/s PS IT Infrastructure & Services Limited also admitted that this company is a paper company.”
None appeared on behalf of the assessee. The ld. D/R has submitted
that the tax effect involved in the Revenue’s appeal comes to Rs 17,68,380/-
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 the ld DR 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 dated 11th
July, 2018 (F No. 279/Misc. 142/2007-ITJ(Pt) instructing the
3 ITA No. 743/JP/2018 ITO, Ward-2, KIshangarh vs. Smt. Parul Jain, Rajvilla, Kishangarh 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not exceeding than 20 lacs should be either withdrawn or not pressed by the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.
In the result, the appeal of the Revenue is dismissed.
