Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, ‘D’ BENCH, CHENNAI
Before: SHRI N.R.S. GANESAN & SHRI INTURI RAMA RAO
आदेश /O R D E R
PER N.R.S. GANESAN, JUDICIAL MEMBER: Both the appeals of the Revenue are directed against the respective orders of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) -19, Chennai, dated 15.05.2017 and pertain to assessment years 2010-11 and 2011-12.
On hearing the Ld. Departmental Representative, we find that the tax effect in these cases is less than `50 lakhs. The CBDT in its Circular No.17/2019 dated 08.08.2019 increased the monetary limit for filing appeal before this Tribunal and instructed its officers to withdraw all the appeals pending before the ITAT where the tax effect is less than `50 lakhs. This Tribunal is of the considered opinion that this Circular of CBDT is binding on the officers of the Department. Therefore, the Revenue cannot proceed further in these appeals. Accordingly, these appeals stand dismissed.
In the result, both the appeals filed by the Revenue stand dismissed.
