Before: SHRI R.K. PANDA & SHRI KULDIP SINGH
ORDER
PER R.K. PANDA, AM:
This appeal filed by the Revenue is directed against the order dated 26.03.2013 of the CIT(A)-XXXII, New Delhi, relating to assessment year 2009-10.
The ld. counsel for the assessee, at the outset, submitted that the tax effect involved in the grounds raised by the Revenue is below Rs.50 lakhs. Therefore, in view of the recent CBDT Circular No.17/2019 dated 8th August, 2019, raising the monetary limit for filing of the appeal by the Revenue before the Tribunal to Rs.50 lakhs and the subsequent clarification of the CBDT, vide Notification dated 20th August, 2019 stating that the said Circular is applicable even to pending appeals, the appeal filed by the Revenue is not maintainable.
The ld. DR, on the other hand, fairly conceded that the tax effect involved in the grounds raised by the Revenue being below Rs.50 lakhs, the appeal filed by the Revenue
CBDT Circular No.17/2019 dated 8th August, 2019 and the subsequent clarification dated 20th August, 2019.
After hearing both the sides, we find the tax effect involved in the grounds raised by the Revenue is admittedly below Rs.50 lakhs. Therefore, in view of the CBDT Circular No.17/2019 dated 8th August, 2019 raising the monetary limits for filing of the appeals by the Revenue before the Tribunal to Rs.50 lakhs and the subsequent clarification dated 20th August, 2019 to the effect that the said Circular is applicable even to pending appeals, the appeal filed by the Revenue is not maintainable. Accordingly, the same is dismissed.
