2.

At the outset, we have noticed that the tax effect in the appeal of the revenue is below Rs.10 lakhs, therefore, the same is not maintainable as per the CBDT Circular No.21/2015, dated 10th December, 2015.

In the instant case, the tax effect is below Rs.10 lakhs, therefore the same is not maintainable and liable to be dismissed in limine. This Circular is retrospective and applicable to the pending appeals also. 3. Considering the above CBDT Circular, we found that this appeal of the revenue is not maintainable as the tax effect in this appeal is below Rs.10 lakhs. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal of the revenue. 4. In the result, appeal of revenue is dismissed.
