The CBDT has issued a new Circular No.3/2018 dated 11.07.2018 in supersession of its earlier Circular No.21/2015 dated 10.12.2015. According to the Circular No.3/2018, the revenue is precluded from pursuing its appeal if the tax effect is Rs.20.00 lakhs or less. Apparently the issue in dispute does not fall in any of the exceptions provided in paragraph 10 of the Circular No.3/2018, referred above. The Ld D.R, however, sought time to get a certificate from the PCIT/CIT concerned that the grounds urged in this appeal does not fall under any of the exceptions specified in the said circular. However, from the available material, he could not point out that the issue contested in this appeal fall in any of the exceptions.
We have noticed that the tax effect involved in this appeal is less than Rs.20.00 lakhs and the issue contested herein also apparently does not fall in any of the exceptions specified in the Circular. Accordingly we dismiss the appeal of the revenue in limine. However, the revenue is given liberty to move miscellaneous application seeking recall of this order, if it is found that the issue contested in this appeal falls in any of the exception provided in paragraph 10 of the Circular.
In the result, all the appeals of the revenue are dismissed. Order pronounced in the open court on 10.08.2018. Sd/- Sd/- (AMARJIT SINGH) (B. R. BASKARAN) न्यधनिक सदस्य/JUDICIAL MEMBER लेखध सदस्य / ACCOUNTANT MEMBER मुंबई Mumbai; दिनांक Dated : 10.08.2018. Vijay
