ITO, NEW DELHI vs. SH. DINESH GOYAL, NEW DELHI

This is an appeal filed by the Department is directed against the order dated 28.11.2013 of ld CIT(A)-XXVII, New Delhi for the Assessment Year 2008-09.

At the outset of the hearing itself, the ld. AR brought to our attention that CBDT vide Circular No.21/2015 dated 10th December, 2015 has decided that the revenue would not prefer an appeal before the Tribunal if the tax effect is less than Rs.10 lakhs. He has also filed the computation to show that the tax effect in this case is below Rs.10 lakhs. Therefore, he pleaded that the appeal of the revenue be dismissed as per the instruction of the CBDT and also submitted that the cross objection preferred by the assessee is not pressed.

Ld. DR was fair enough to admit the aforesaid factual position.

We have heard both the sides on the issue and perused the material. I find that the CBDT vide circular dated 10.12.2015 has revised the monetary limit for filing the appeal by the department before Income Tax Appellate
