PER C.M. GARG, J.M.


      This appeal of the revenue for assessment year 2009-10 has been

preferred by the revenue against the order of CIT(A)-I, Dehradun dated

27.09.2013. The only dispute in this appeal is against deletion of addition of

Rs. 9,56,465/-, the tax effect on which is admittedly below Rs. 3 lakhs.






2.    The learned counsel for the assessee, at the outset, contends that as

per Central Board of Direct Taxes, Instruction No.3/2011 dated 09th

February, 2011, the revised limit for preferring revenue's appeals has been


                                      1

increased from Rs.2 lacs to Rs. 3 lacs, although the tax effect in the present

revenue's appeal is below the prescribed limit of Rs. 3 lacs. In view

thereof, the revenue's appeal may be dismissed as the tax effect being below

the prescribed limit.

3.    The learned Departmental Representative agrees to the tax calculation

and the upward revision of tax effect appealable under revenue's appeal to

Rs. 3 lacs.






4.    We have heard both sides. The CBDT, vide above instruction has

clearly laid down that the revenue should not prefer appeals against

assessees before ITAT if the tax effect involved in the appeal, excluding

interest, is less than Rs. 3 lacs. The tax payable in the present appeal being

below Rs. 3 lacs, the revenue's appeal is dismissed as not maintainable in

view of CBDT Instruction.

5.    In the result, the appeal of the Revenue is dismissed.

      Order pronounced in the open court on 7.12.2015.
