PER N.R.S. GANESAN, JUDICIAL MEMBER:
This appeal of the Revenue is directed against the order of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-II, Chennai, dated 27.12.2013 and pertains to assessment year 2009-10.
On hearing the Ld. Departmental Representative, we find that the tax effect in this case is less than `10 lakhs. The CBDT in its Circular No.21/2015 dated 10.12.2015 instructed its officers to withdraw all the appeals pending before the ITAT where the tax effect is less than `10 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.
Order pronounced in the open court on 8th February, 2016 at Chennai.
