Bot Summary: The CBDT, vide Circular dated 8th August, 2019, has amended para 3 of Circular No. 3/2018 dated 11.07.2018 modifying the monetary limits for filing of appeals by the Department before the Tribunal. The tax effect in dispute in the captioned appeals is stated to be below the enhanced 2 ITA-296/Del/2017 20 others monetary limit of 50 lakhs specified in the CBDT Circular dated 08.08.2019 read with circular dated 11.07.2018. 279/Misc/M-93/2018-ITJ dated 20th August, 2019 has clarified that the revised monetary limits specified in Circular dated 8th August, 2019 are applicable to pending appeals also. In this background, the learned D.R. appearing for the Revenue was required to state his position; he has not referred to any material which would show that the captioned appeals are protected by any of the exceptions provided in para 10 of the CBDT circular dated 11.07.2018 and its amendment dated 20th August, 2018. Without going into the merit of the issues raised in the captioned appeal, they are deemed to be withdrawn/not pressed, as their filing is not in consonance with the CBDT circular dated 08.08.2019 read with circular dated 11.07.2018. We clarify that if on a later date, the Revenue finds that the tax effect in dispute in any of the captioned appeals is more than the limit prescribed in the Circular dated 08.08.2019, or it is protected by any of the exceptions provided in para 10 of the CBDT circular dated 11.07.2018, it shall be at liberty to approach the Tribunal for recall of the order and reinstitution of the appeal for adjudication on merits. In conclusion, by applying the circular dated 08.08.2019 read with circulars dated 11.07.2018 and 20.08.2019, the captioned appeals of the Revenue are dismissed as withdrawn/ not pressed.
