Held
The Tribunal noted that the tax effect was less than the prescribed limit and the Revenue's DR conceded this fact. Therefore, the appeal was held to be not maintainable.

PER S.S. VISWANETHRA RAVI, JUDICIAL MEMBER:
This appeal filed by the Revenue is directed against the order dated 16.12.2024 passed by the ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) – 19, Chennai, for the assessment year 2019-20.
When the appeal was taken up for hearing, by filing written submissions dated 14.07.2025, the ld. AR Shri CT Karuppan Chetty, CA submits that the tax effect in the appeal filed by the Revenue is less than the monetary limit of ₹.60,00,000/- fixed by the CBDT to file an appeal by the Revenue before the Tribunal as per the CBDT Circular No. 06/2024, dated 17.09.2024. The ld. DR fairly conceded and being so, the Revenue authorities are precluded from filing the appeal before the Tribunal, since the tax effect is less than ₹.60,00,000/- in this appeal. Thus, the appeal filed by the Revenue is liable to be dismissed as not maintainable. Accordingly, the appeal filed by the Revenue is dismissed.
In the result, the appeal filed by the Revenue is dismissed. Order pronounced on 17th July, 2025 at Chennai.
