IN THE INCOME TAX APPELLATE TRIBUNAL RAIPUR BENCH, RAIPUR BEFORE SHRI RAVISH SOOD, JM & SHRI ARUN KHODPIA, AM आयकर अपील सं./IT A No.130/RPR/2019 (निर्धारण वर्ा / Assessment Year :2010-2011) ACIT, Circle-1(1), Raipur Vs . M/s Shivali Udyog (India) Ltd., Plot No.324, Sector-D, Urla Industrial Area, Raipur(CG) PAN No. : AAACD 8194 P (अपीलार्थी /Appellant) .. (प्रत्यर्थी / Respondent) राजस्व की ओर से /Revenue by : None निर्ााररती की ओर से /Assessee by : Shri R.B.Doshi, CA सुिवाई की तारीख / Date of Hearing : 18/07/2022 घोषणा की तारीख/Date of Pronouncement : 18/07/2022 आदेश / O R D E R Per Bench : The revenue has filed appeal arising out of the order passed by the ld. CIT(A)-1, Raipur, dated 06.02.2019 for the assessment year 2010- 2011. 2. Though the revenue has filed adjournment application, however, looking to the facts of the case, we reject the application of the revenue and proceed to dispose off the appeal of revenue after considering the arguments of the ld. AR and the relevant documents available on record. 3. In this appeal of revenue, we found that the tax effect is less than the limit prescribed by the CBDT vide its Circular No.17/2019, dated 8th August, 2019. Accordingly, the appeal of the revenue is not maintainable and accordingly the same is dismissed. 4. Even the appeal of the assessee does not fall within the exception mentioned at Sr.No.10(e) of the CBDT Circular No.142/2007, dated ITA No.130/RPR/2019 2 20.08.2018 and in this regard, reliance can be placed on the decision of Jurisdictional High Court in the case of Bhojraj Lal Chand Nawani, in MCC No.621 of 2019, order dated 16.09.2019, wherein the Hon’ble High Court has held as under :- “3. Having heard learned counsel for revenue and having seen the subject clause 10(e), it appears the same would apply where addition is based on information received from external sources in the nature of law enforcement agencies such as CBI/ED/DRI/SFIO/Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI). In the case at hand the information on the basis of which this MCC has been filed was received from the Department of Sales Tax of the State of Maharashtra. Thus, the said information having not emanated from the CBI/ED/DRI/SFIO/DGGI, clause 10(e) would have no application. 4. In our considered view, the TAXC No. 11 of 2019, was rightly dismissed being hit by the Circular dated 11.07.2018 read with the amendment in the said circular vide subsequent CBDT circular dated 20.08.2018.” 5. Further similar issue has also been decided by this Bench of the Tribunal in the case of Sh.Sanjay Kumar Kochar, ITA No.98/RPR/2018, order dated 31.05.2022. 6. In view of the above clarification made by the Hon’ble Jurisdictional High Court that the information received from the sales tax department is not emanated from the CBI/ED/DRI/SFIO/DGGI, therefore, the exception clause 10(e) of the said circular would have no application. Therefore, respectfully following the order passed by the Hon’ble Jurisdictional High Court as well as by the order of the coordinate bench of the Tribunal as cited above, we held that the appeal of the revenue is not maintainable as the tax effect involved in this appeal is below the limit prescribed by the CBDT. Thus, we dismiss the appeal of the revenue. ITA No.130/RPR/2019 3 7. In the result, appeal of the revenue is dismissed. Order pronounced in the open court on 18/07/ 2022.
