Commissioner of Income-Tax(Appeals)-1, Rajkot [hereinafter referred to as “Ld.CIT(A) under section 250 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 ("the Act" for short) dated 7.3.2017 pertaining to the Asst.Year 2012-13. 2. At the outset, it is submitted by the ld.counsel for the assessee that tax effect involved on the disputed addition of Rs.1,05,45,000/- is below Rs.50 lakhs and therefore, the present appeal filed by the Revenue is not maintainable in view of recent CBDT circular no.17 of 2019 prohibiting filing of appeal by the Department before the Tribunal where tax effect is below Rs.50 lakhs. The ld.DR did not dispute applicability of the recent CBDT circular and left to the Tribunal to pass appropriate order in the matter. 3. Admittedly tax effect in appeal of the Revenue is below Rs.50 lakhs, and therefore, keeping in view the above CBDT circular and ITA No.154/RJT/2017 2 provisions of section 268A of the Income Tax Act, we are of the view that the present appeal of the Revenue deserves to be dismissed at the threshold. It is accordingly dismissed. However, it is observed that in case on re-verification at the end of the AO it can be demonstrated that the tax effect on the disputed addition is more, or Revenue’s case falls within the ambit of exceptions provided in the Circular, then the Department will be at liberty to approach the Tribunal for recall of this order. Such application should be filed within the time period prescribed in the Act 4. In the result, the appeal of the Revenue is dismissed due to low tax effect. Order pronounced in the Court on 30 th September, 2022 at Ahmedabad. Sd/- Sd/- (SUCHITRA KAMBLE) JUDICIAL MEMBER (ANNAPURNA GUPTA) ACCOUNTANT MEMBER Ahmedabad, dated 30/09/2022
