Assessment Year: 2007-08
Result: Final Tribunal Order

The appeal involves the DCIT Circle-25(1), New Delhi challenging the order by the CIT(A) regarding the valuation of certain transactions recorded by Teen Murti Products Pvt. Ltd. during the assessment year 2007-08. The key issue revolved around the application of new CBDT guidelines regarding the monetary thresholds for filing appeals.
During the proceedings, the representative of the appellant highlighted the implications of CBDT Circular No. 17/2019, which revised the monetary limits for appeals before the ITAT, thus arguing that the appeal should be dismissed based on these new thresholds. The respondent contested that the appeal lacked merit given the updated guidelines which aim to reduce litigations by setting a higher monetary limit for appeals.
The Tribunal noted the relevance of the new CBDT circular which was intended to streamline the appeal process and reduce frivolous litigations where the tax effect does not meet the specified monetary threshold. Acknowledging the circular’s impact, the Tribunal held that since the tax effect in the present case was below the specified limit of Rs. 50 lakhs, the appeal by the revenue was not maintainable.
Furthermore, the Tribunal gave liberty to the revenue to file a miscellaneous application if any new evidence or instances were discovered post this decision.
The appeal by the DCIT was dismissed based on the tax effect being below the newly stipulated monetary threshold, setting a precedent for other cases with similar financial implications. This case marks a significant step towards reducing unnecessary legal battles and aligning with broader policy changes aimed at efficiency in the judicial process.
