Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, DELHI BENCH ‘B’, NEW DELHI

Before: SH. R. K. PANDA & SMT. BEEN A. PILLAI

Hearing: 30/07/2018Pronounced: 30/07/2018

ORDER PER R.K. PANDA, AM:

1.

This appeal filed by the revenue is directed against the order dated 01.09.2015 of the CIT(A)-5, Delhi to A. Y. 2011-12.

2.

None appeared on behalf of the assessee at the time of hearing. Therefore, this appeal is being disposed of on the basis of material available on record and after hearing the Ld. DR.

3.

The Ld. DR fairly conceded that the tax effect involved in the appeal filed by the revenue is below Rs.20,00,000/-. The CBDT vide circular No.03/2018 [F.No.279/Misc.142/2007-ITJ (Pt.)] dated 11.07.2018 has revised the monetary limit to Rs.20,00,000/- for filing of the appeals by the department before ITAT. As per para 3 of the said circular it is also clarified that the pending appeals of the department before ITAT having monetary limit of Rs. 20,00,000/- will be treated as withdrawn. Since in the instant case the tax effect is admittedly below Rs. 20,00,000/-, therefore, in view of the latest CBDT Circular cited (supra) the appeal filed by the revenue is dismissed.

4.

In the result, the appeal filed by the revenue is dismissed.

Order pronounced in the open court at the time of hearing itself i.e. on 30.07.2018.
