INCOME TAX OFFICER, WARD-1, MANDI GOBINDGARH, HQ SIRHIND vs. NEW FATEHGARH SAHIB SIRHIND BUS TRANSPORT PVT. LTD., SIRHIND
What did the Tribunal hold?
The Tribunal held that the Revenue's appeal was not maintainable due to a low tax effect and the absence of any exceptions under the CBDT circulars, despite a subsequent Supreme Court judgment. The delay in filing the appeal was not condoned.
What were the facts?
The assessee declared 'Nil' income, but the Tax Audit Report indicated delays in remitting employees' ESI & EPF contributions. The CPC made a disallowance of Rs. 2,63,757/- under Section 36(1)(va) of the Income Tax Act. The CIT(A) allowed the assessee's appeal.
What were the issues?
Whether the Revenue's appeal is maintainable when the tax effect is below the prescribed monetary limits, and whether a subsequent Supreme Court judgment can justify condoning the delay in filing such an appeal.
Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?
