ORDER
PER ANADEE NATH MISSHRA, AM
[A]. This appeal has been filed by Revenue against the order
dated 14.11.2014 passed by Learned Commissioner of Income
Tax(Appeals)-IX, New Delhi [in short, "Ld.CIT(A)"] pertaining to
assessment year 2005-06. In this appeal, the tax effect is less than
the monetary limit fixed by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (in
short "CBDT") in its Circular No.17/2009 dated 08.08.2019. The
Revenue has raised following grounds of appeal:-
(1) Whether on facts and in circumstances of the case & in law, the Ld.
CIT(A) has erred in deleting the additions of Rs. 26,00,000/- made
by the AO on account of Unexplained Investment u/s 69 of the IT
Act, 1961?
ITA No: -649/Del/2015
(2) Whether on facts and in circumstances of the case & in law, the Ld.
CIT(A) has erred in deleting the addition to the tune of Rs.
81,72,077/- made by the AO on account of Unexplained Credits u/s
68 of the I.T. Act, 1961?
(3) Whether on facts and in circumstances of the case & in law, the Ld.
CIT(A) has erred in estimating expenses of the assessee at 75% of
receipts without any basis and without verifying any detail of
expense claimed?
(4) Whether on facts and in circumstances of the case & in law, the Ld.
CIT(A) has erred in admitting Additional Evidence under rule 46A
when the case of the assessee did not fall under any of the
exception provided therein?
(5) That the order of the Ld. CIT(A) is erroneous and is not tenable on
facts and in law."
[B]. At the outset, it was brought to our notice by learned counsel
for the Assessee, at the time of hearing, that tax effect in this
appeal is below Rs. 50,00,000./-. Vide recent CBDT Circular
No.17/2019 dated 08.08.2019 read with earlier CBDT Circular No.
3 of 2018, dated 11.07.2018, minimum threshold limit of tax effect
of filing of appeals by Revenue in Income Tax Appellate Tribunal
("ITAT", for short) has been enhanced to Rs. 50,00,000/-. In a
subsequent clarification issued by CBDT vide F.No. 279/Misc/M-
93/2018-ITJ, dated 20/08/2019, it has been clarified by CBDT
that the aforesaid revised monetary limit is also applicable to all
pending appeals in ITAT. Therefore, in view of the foregoing, we are
of the view that this appeal filed by Revenue is not maintainable.
The learned Departmental Representative also did not press the
appeal. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed being not pressed, and
also not maintainable, having regard to aforesaid CBDT Circular

No. 3 of 2018 in the light of aforesaid clarification dated
20/08/2019.
[C]. Before leaving, we clarify that Revenue will be at liberty to
approach Income Tax Appellate Tribunal U/s 254(2) of Income
Tax Act, 1961 seeking recall of this order and, for restoration
of the appeal if it is found that this appeal of Revenue is
not covered by aforesaid CBDT Circulars dated 08.08.2019
and 11.07.2018.
[D]. In the result, the appeal by Revenue is dismissed. Our
decision was orally pronounced in the Open Court after conclusion
of hearing on the date of hearing. Now, this written order is
pronounced in Open Court on
