Heard both the parties. Case files perused. 2. The Revenue’s sole substantive grievance raised herein seeks to reverse the Ld. CIT(A)'s action deleting sec.69C unexplained expenditure addition of Rs.71 lakhs made by the Assessing Officer in his assessment order dated 21.05.2021. That 2 ITA.No.99 /PAN./2023 being the case, there would be hardly any denial to the clinching fact that the tax effect comes to less than Rs.50 lakhs as per the CBDT’s circular no.17/2019 dated 08.08.2019 made applicable to all pending appeals as well. We accordingly reject the Revenue’s instant sole substantive grievance as well as the main appeal in very terms. Ordered accordingly. 3. This Revenue’s appeal is dismissed.
