ORDER / आदेश
Per Pradip Kumar Choubey, JM:
This is an appeal preferred by the revenue against the order of the Ld.
Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-21, Kolkata (hereinafter referred to as the “Ld.
CIT(A)”] dated 20.06.2024 for the AY 2010-11. 2. At the outset, the Ld. Counsel for the assessee submitted that the CBDT has issued a Circular No. 9/2024 dated 17.09.2024, whereby the monetary limits for filing of appeal by the Department before Income Tax Appellate Tribunal and High Courts
I.T.A. No.2075/Kol/2024
Assessment Year: 2010-11
Rashi Impex Pvt. Ltd.
and SLP before Supreme Court have been increased as a measure for reducing
Litigation. The revised monetary limits laid down in para-2 of this Circular are as follows:
1. Before Appellate Tribunal
Rs. 60,00,000/-
2. Before High Court
Rs. 2,00,00,000/-
3. Before Supreme Court Rs. 5,00,00,000/-
In the present case, the tax effect by the revenue is less than Rs.60,00,000/-. We note that this appeal had been filed by the revenue on 07.10.2024 and since the tax effect is within the monetary limit for filing appeals before Tribunal, in view of the Circular of CBDT (supra) at the first place, Revenue should not have preferred this appeal. In view of the above, we hold that the appeal filed by the Department, against the impugned order of the Ld. CIT(A), is contrary to the policy decision of the Department and as such the appeal filed by the Department is dismissed in limine. 4. As a matter of caution, we observe that if the Revenue finds at a later point of time that the tax effect in the appeal is more than Rs.60 lakhs or despite low tax effect, the appeal of the revenue is maintainable, the revenue is at liberty to move this Tribunal for recalling of this order. In the result, the appeal of the revenue is dismissed.
Order is pronounced in the open court on 11th February, 2025 (Sanjay Awasthy/संजय अवèथी) (Pradip Kumar Choubey /Ĥदȣप कुमार चौबे)
