Challenge in the present appeal, filed under Section 260A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (for short, the ‘Act’) is to the order dated 17.02.2023 passed by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Chandigarh. 2.

Vide the said order, the Tribunal had found that the objections had been decided on 11.07.2017 and prior to deciding the same, the notice under Sections 143(2)/142(1) of the Act had been issued on 23.05.2017. The tax effect for the Assessment Year 2012-13 is only to the tune of Rs.89,25,627/- and the respondent is Haryana State Cooperative Supply & Marketing Federation Ltd., a Government entity. 3.

In view of the circular No.17 of 2019 of the Revenue Authority whereby monetary limit has been enhanced to Rs.1 crore, we are of the considered opinion that the appeal itself is not maintainable as the same is misconceived and has wrongly been filed. The same is therefore, liable to be dismissed being not maintainable. The exception provided under Clause (c) is SAILESH RANJAN 2023.12.08 14:43 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this order/judgment Chandigarh
