This appeal by Revenue has been directed against the order of Ld. CIT(A)-32, New Delhi, Dated 30.11.2016, for the A.Y. 2012-2013, challenging the deletion of addition of Rs.71,76,058/- under section 69 of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
2 ITA.No.746/Del./2017 Smt. Madhu Bala Gupta, New Delhi.
Admittedly, the tax effect in the Departmental Appeal is less than Rs.50 lakhs. Vide Circular No.3/2018 Dated 11thJuly, 2018 issued by CBDT under section 268A of the I.T. Act, it has been directed that the Department shall not file appeal before the Tribunal in case where the tax effect does not exceed the monetary limit of Rs.20 lakhs. It is also directed that this instruction will apply retrospectively to pending appeals and appeals to be filed henceforth in the Tribunal. Pending appeals below the specified tax limit may be withdrawn/not pressed by the Department. The CBDT Vide Circular No.17/2019 Dated 08.08.2019 amended the earlier Circular No.3/2018 (supra) whereby it has been directed that monetary limit for filing the Departmental appeal in Income Tax Cases may be enhanced further through this amendment in para-3 of the Circular mentioned above and accordingly, the monetary limit for filing the appeal before the Appellate Tribunal have been enhanced to Rs.50 lakhs. Since Circular No.17/2019 Dated 08.08.2019 have been issued to amend its earlier
3 ITA.No.746/Del./2017 Smt. Madhu Bala Gupta, New Delhi. Circular No.3/2018 (supra), therefore, all the conditions of earlier Circular No.3/2018 shall apply accordingly.
The Ld. D.R. in view of the above Board’s Circulars did not press the Departmental Appeal. The case of the Department would not fall in the exceptions provided in the above Board Circulars. In the result, the Departmental appeal is not maintainable as the appeal is filed against the Board instructions referred to above and therefore, the appeal of the Department is liable to be dismissed.
In the result, appeal of the Department dismissed.
Order pronounced in the open Court.
