Issues: Challenge to deletion of addition under section 69 of the I.T. Act, 1961 based on monetary limits for filing Departmental Appeal.
Analysis: The judgment involves a challenge by the Revenue against the deletion of an addition of Rs. 79,20,000 under section 69 of the I.T. Act, 1961 for the A.Y. 2006-2007. The Revenue filed an appeal before the ITAT Delhi against the Order of the Ld. CIT(A)-10, New Delhi. However, it was noted that the tax effect in the Departmental Appeal was less than Rs. 50 lakhs. Referring to Circular No.3/2018 and Circular No.17/2019 issued by the CBDT, it was highlighted that the Department shall not file appeals before the Tribunal where the tax effect does not exceed the monetary limit specified. The Circulars directed that appeals below the specified tax limit may be withdrawn or not pressed by the Department. The monetary limit for filing appeals before the Appellate Tribunal was enhanced to Rs. 50 lakhs through Circular No.17/2019 dated 08.08.2019, amending the earlier Circular No.3/2018.
The Ld. D.R., in line with the Board's Circulars, did not press the Departmental Appeal since the case did not fall within the exceptions provided in the Circulars. It was emphasized that the Departmental appeal was not maintainable as it was filed against the Board instructions specified in the Circulars. Consequently, the appeal of the Department was deemed liable to be dismissed. The judgment concluded by dismissing the appeal of the Department, highlighting the adherence to the monetary limits set forth in the CBDT Circulars. The decision was pronounced in the open Court, affirming the dismissal of the Departmental appeal based on the applicable monetary limits as per the Circulars issued by the CBDT.
