What did the Tribunal hold?

The Tribunal noted that the tax effect was indeed below the monetary limit prescribed by the CBDT circular. Therefore, the appeal filed by the Revenue was not maintainable.

The Revenue filed an appeal before the ITAT against an order of the CIT(A) for the assessment year 2012-13. The assessee pointed out that the tax effect involved in the appeal was below Rs. 20 lakhs.

What were the issues?

The primary issue was whether the Revenue's appeal was maintainable before the Tribunal given the low tax effect, in light of the prevailing CBDT circular.
