Date of Hearing 02.08.2018 Date of Pronouncement .08.2018
ORDER PER BENCH: These appeals by the Revenue arise out of the orders passed by the CIT(A) in relation to the captioned assessment years. 2. At the outset of the hearing itself, the ld. Senior DR brought to our attention that CBDT vide Circular No.03/2018 dated 11TH July 2018 has decided that the revenue would not prefer an appeal before the Tribunal if the tax effect is less than Rs.20 lakhs. Therefore, he pleaded that the appeals of the revenue be decided as per the instruction of the CBDT. Ld AR also reiterated same facts.
We have heard both the sides on the issue and perused the material. We find that the CBDT vide circular dated 11th July 2018 has revised the monetary limit for filing the appeal by the department before Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Hon’ble High Courts and Hon’ble Supreme Court. The relevant para of the aforesaid circular is reproduced as under :- “3. Henceforth, appeals/SLPs shall not be filed in cases where the tax effect does not exceed the monetary limits given hereunder :- Sl.No. Appeals in Income-tax matters Monetary Limit(in Rs.) 1. Before Appellate Tribunal 20,00,000 2. Before High Court 50,00,000 3. Before Supreme Court 1,00,00,000 It is clarified that an appeal should not be filed merely because the tax effect in a case exceeds the monetary limits prescribed above. Filing of appeal in such cases is to be decided on merits of the case.”
We find that the tax effect involve in the appeals of the Revenue are below Rs.20 lakhs. There is no dispute that the Board’s instructions or directions issued to the Income-tax authorities are binding on those authorities, therefore, the Department should have withdrawn/not pressed the present appeals in view of the aforesaid instruction since the tax effect in the instant appeal is less than the amount of Rs.20 lakhs.
In view of the above, Circular No.3/2018 dated 10.07.2018 will apply to all pending appeals. Therefore, it is held that the appeal is not maintainable in the instant case as the tax effect is less than Rs.20 lakhs. Accordingly, it is held that appeals filed by the revenue are not maintainable.
In the result, appeals filed by the department are dismissed. Order pronounced in open court on this 03 day of August, 2018.
