We have heard the learned CIT (D.R.), who has pointed out the tax effect involved in this appeal, is below monetary limit prescribed by the CBDT. We find that the CBDT vide Circular No.17/2019 dated 8th August 2019 [F.No.279/ Misc.142/ 2007-ITJ (Pt)] by amending para 3 of CBDT Circular No.3/2018 dated 11.07.2018 has enhanced the monetary limit for filing of appeal before Tribunal to Rs.50 lakhs and has also removed the anomaly in para 5 of said Circular No. 3/2018. We find that the present case does not fall within the exceptions clause 10 of said CBDT Circular No. 3/2018. Therefore, the present appeal is not maintainable as
per above Circular No. 17/2019, hence dismissed. This Circular is applicable to all pending appeals as clarified by CBDT letter dated 20.08.2019 [F. No. 279/Misc./M-93/2018-ITJ] and in the light of judgment of Hon`ble Supreme Court in the case of Pr. CIT, Jaipur v.
Meenakshi Modi SLP (Civil) Diary No. 25076 of 2019-dated 16.08.2019 wherein the Hon`ble Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal of Revenue, as tax involved was less than Rs. 2 Crores. However, the Revenue is at liberty to approach to this Tribunal for recalling this order, if it is comes to the notice of the AO that the tax effect is more than the monetary limit provided under above Circular or the appeals is fall within ambit of the exceptions provided under the said Circular.
