PER N.R.S. GANESAN, JUDICIAL MEMBER:
This appeal of the Revenue is directed against the order of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-14, Chennai, dated 26.03.2018 and pertains to assessment year 2013-14.
On hearing the Ld. Departmental Representative, we find that the tax effect in this case is less than `20 lakhs. The CBDT in its Circular No.3/2018 dated 11.07.2018 instructed its officers to withdraw all the appeals pending before the ITAT where the tax effect is less than `20 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 this appeal. Accordingly, this appeal stands dismissed.
In the result, the appeal of the Revenue is dismissed. 3. Order pronounced in the open court after conclusion of hearing on 24th September, 2018 at Chennai.
