PAN : AAACK0163H (Appellant) (Respondent) Assessee by : Shri Anil Kumar Malotra, C. A.; Department by : Ms. Rakhi Vimal, Sr. D. R.; Date of hearing : 28/02/2020 Date of order : 02/03/2020 O R D E R PER K. NARSIMHA CHARY, J.M. :
These two appeals by the Revenue are filed against two separate orders passed by the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-VIII, New Delhi, for assessment years 2010-11 and 2011-12. These were heard together and are being disposed off, for the sake of convenience, by this consolidated order.
At the time of hearing, the learned Counsel for the assessee submitted that tax effect involved in these appeals is below the prescribed limit of Rs.50 lakhs, as fixed by the CBDT and requested to dismiss both the Revenue’s appeals on account of low tax effect.
Perusal of the aforesaid appeals filed by the Revenue apparently show that the same is having low tax effect as per CBDT Circular No.17/2019 dated 8th August, 2019 vide which the Revenue has been directed not to prefer any appeal in case the tax effect is less than Rs.50,00,000/- and this factual position has been fairly conceded by the learned Senior Departmental Representative.
We have heard both the parties and perused the material on record. Perusal of CBDT Circular (supra) shows that monetary limit for filing the appeal by the Department before the Tribunal, Hon'ble High Court and Hon'ble Supreme Court has been revised. In view of the CBDT Circular No.17/2019 dated 8th August, 2019 having retrospective effect as coordinate Bench of the Tribunal in case of Dinesh Madhavlal Patel [TS-469-ITAT-2019(Ahd)] 2019- TIOL-1556-ITAT-AHM dated 14th August, 2019 has already decided the issue as to the applicability of the captioned circular to the pending appeals in affirmative and what has been discussed above, we are of the considered view that the aforesaid appeal is not maintainable because of low tax effect i.e. less than Rs.50,00,000/- hence, both the aforesaid appeals filed by the Revenue are hereby dismissed having been become infructuous. However, in case, both the present appeals are found to be maintainable at any stage for any technical reasons, the Department shall be at liberty to seek recall of this common order under relevant provisions of law.
In the result, both the appeals filed by the Revenue, are dismissed being infructuous.
Order pronounced in the open court on : 02/03/2020
