Facts
The Revenue filed an appeal against the CIT(A)'s order for AY 2010-11, where the tax effect of the relief granted was Rs. 22,27,025/-. This amount is below the Rs. 60,00,000/- monetary limit for filing appeals, as stipulated by CBDT Instruction No. 9 of 2024.
Held
The Tribunal dismissed the Revenue's appeal on grounds of low tax effect, finding that it did not fall under any exceptions to the CBDT instruction. The Tribunal, however, allowed the Revenue to file a Miscellaneous Application for recall if the tax effect is later found to be higher or if the case falls within specified exceptions.
Key Issues
Whether an appeal filed by the Revenue is maintainable before the Tribunal when the tax effect is below the monetary limit specified by CBDT instructions and no exceptions apply.
