                                     ORDER

PER BENCH:

The above appeals are filed by the Revenue against the orders of Ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) involving respective assessment years. Upon receipt of notice on the Revenue's appeals, some of the assessees' mentioned in the cause-title have also filed cross objections.

2. The Central Board of Direct Taxes vide Circular No. 3 of 2018 dated 11.07.2018 has raised threshold monetary limits for filing Departmental Appeals before the Appellate Tribunals. Accordingly, the CBDT has instructed the Department not to file appeals before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal where tax effect including surcharge is below Rs. 20.00 lakhs. This circular is applicable to the pending appeals also. Accordingly, Registry of the Tribunal identified appeals filed by the Revenue where tax effect is below Rs. 20.00 lakhs.

3. In this behalf, when a query was raised by the Bench, the Ld. Departmental Representatives though, in principle, did not dispute the applicability of the above CBDT circular in the present cases, but 9 submitted that liberty may be given to the Department to apply for recall the order in such cases where tax effect, on further verification of the record, is found to be more than Rs. 20 lakhs, or such cases which are mistakenly listed and summarily dismissed due to low taxes. The Ld. Counsels appearing for the assessees though argued for dismissal of the appeals of the Revenue in accordance with the above CBDT Circular, but agreed to the proposition put forth by the Ld. DR.

4. We find that on 11.7.2018 the CBDT has issued Instructions bearing No. 3 of 2018 under file No. F.No.279/Misc.142/2007-ITJ(Pt) prohibiting its subordinate authorities from filing of the appeal to the Tribunal against the order of the CIT (A) where tax effect by virtue of relief given by Ld. CIT(A) is less than Rs. 20 lakhs. The instructions have been made applicable with retrospective effect, meaning thereby, these instructions are applicable on pending appeals also. In the present cases, "tax effect" on the additions which are deleted by Ld. CIT(A) is less than Rs. 20 lakhs. Further, it has not been pointed out to us, whether any of the cases of the Revenue fall within the ambit of exceptions provided in the Circular. Thus, keeping in view the above CBDT circular and provisions of Section 268A of the Income Tax Act, we are of the view that the present appeals of the Revenue deserve to be dismissed. They are 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 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 relatable to such cases. Such application should be filed within the time period prescribed in the 10 Act. In view of the above, the appeals of the Revenue are dismissed due to low tax effect.

Though the Ld. Counsel for the assessee have not pressed their respective cross objections, and as a result, they stand dismissed, but liberty is also given to the assessees to move application for revival of its CO filed in such appeals of the Revenue which are restored for adjudication.

5. In the result, all the appeals of the Revenue and Cross Objections of the assessees are dismissed due to low tax effect.
