Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, KOLKATA ‘B’ BENCH, KOLKATA
Before: Shri P.M. Jagtap & Shri S.S. Viswanethra Ravi
Date of concluding the hearing : December 17, 2015 Date of pronouncing the order : December 17, 2015
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)-XXXIII, Kolkata dated 05.07.2012 for the assessment year 2007-08, whereby he deleted the additions of Rs.15,39,116/- and Rs.40,018/- made by the Assessing Officer to the total income of the assessee on account of unexplained cash credits under section 68 and unproved sundry creditors respectively.
At the time of hearing before us, none has appeared on behalf of the assessee. It is, however, noted from the grounds raised by the Revenue in this appeal that the tax effect involved therein 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 is not disputed even by the ./2012 Assessment year: 2007-2008 Page 2 of 2 ld. D.R. In Circular No. 21/2015 (supra) recently issued by the CBDT, the 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 The CBDT has also instructed that such pending appeals below this specified tax limit of Rs.10,00,000/- may be withdrawn/ not pressed.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which is squarely applicable in the present case, the appeal filed by the Revenue in this case is treated as withdrawn/not pressed and dismissed accordingly.
