Before: Shri P.M. Jagtap & Shri S.S. Viswanethra Ravi
Date of concluding the hearing : February 08, 2016 Date of pronouncing the order : February 08, 2016
O R D E R Per Shri P.M. Jagtap :- This appeal is preferred by the Revenue against the order of ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-XXXII, Kolkata dated 15.03.2013 for the assessment year 2009-10.
As pointed out by the ld. Counsel for the assessee, at the outset, the tax effect involved in this appeal of the Revenue is less than the revised monetary limit recently fixed by the CBDT vide Circular No. 21/2015 dated 10th December, 2015 at Rs.10,00,000/- for filing the appeal by the Revenue before the Tribunal and this position clearly evident from the grounds raised by the Revenue in this appeal is not disputed even by the ld. D.R. In Circular No. 21/2015 (supra) recently issued by the CBDT, the ./2013 Assessment year: 2009-2010 Page 2 of 2 monetary limit for filing the appeals by the Revenue before the Tribunal has been increased to Rs.10,00,000/- and as clarified in the said Circular, the said monetary limit is applicable retrospectively even to the appeals pending before the Tribunal. The CBDT has also instructed that such pending appeals below this specified tax limit of Rs.10,00,000/- may be withdrawn/ not pressed. Keeping in view the instruction given by the CBDT vide Circular No. 21/2015 dated 10.12.2015, which is squarely applicable in the present case, the appeal filed by the Revenue in this case is treated as withdrawn/not pressed and dismissed accordingly.
In the result, the appeal of the Revenue is dismissed. Order pronounced in the open Court on February 08, 2016.
