CONSOLIDATED ORDER
Per Anadee Nath Misshra, AM
(A) The above captioned appeals by Revenue are taken up together for the sake of
convenience and brevity and these appeals are hereby disposed off through this
Consolidated Order; because, in these appeals the tax effect is less than the monetary
limit fixed by the Central Board of Direct Taxes ("CBDT", for short) in its Circular No.
17/2019 dated 08.08.2019. Grounds taken in these appeals of Revenue are as under:
ITA No.- 6870/Del/2015
"1. The Ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) has erred in law and on the
facts in deleting the addition of Rs.54,00,000/- made by AO on
account of unexplained investment/expenditure disallowance etc of the
group, which was not offered in the return of income filed for the AY 2012-
13, despite submitting filing declaration during the course of search
proceedings.
2. The Ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) has erred in law and on the
facts in deleting the addition of Rs.44,30,838/- (Addition reduced from
Rs.50,00,216/- to Rs.5,69,378/-), made by AO u/s 2(22)(e) of the I.T. Act,
1961.
3. The Ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) has erred in law and on
the facts in wrongly interoperating the provisions of explanation 2 of
section 2(22)(e) which makes it very clear that accumulated profits includes
profits of the company up to the date of distribution/payment.
4. The Ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) has erred in law and on
the facts in deleting the addition of Rs.3,00,000/- which was not
shown by the assessee in his return of income.

facts in deleting the addition of Rs.75,000/- made by AO on account of
unexplained money u/s69Aofthe IT Act, 1961.
6. (a) The order of the CIT(Appeals) is erroneous and not tenable in law and

Rs. 16,03,306/- made by the AO on account of selling, General &
Administrative expenses.

(B) At the outset, Learned Senior Departmental Representative ("Ld. DR)", for short]
brought to our notice, at the time of hearing, that tax effect in each of these appeals is
below Rs. 50,00,000/-. Both sides, [Representatives of Revenue and the Assessees]
were in agreement, at the time of hearing before us, that the tax effect in each of these
appeals 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 for 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 Having regard to the aforesaid, the Ld. Sr. DR for
Revenue did not press the appeals. The learned Authorized Representatives (Advocate/
Chartered Accountant) for the respective assessees also submitted that the appeals
were not maintainable in view of the aforesaid CBDT Circulars dated 08.08.2019 and
11.07.2018; and the aforesaid clarification dated 20.08.2019 issued by CBDT.
