In view of CBDT Circular No. 17/2019, dated 8-8-2019, appeal of revenue was not maintainable and was dismissed as not maintainable because of lower tax effect.

Appeal (Tribunal) - Maintainability - Lower tax effect -

Assessee contended that tax effect in instant appeal of revenue was below Rs. 50 lakhs and, therefore, in view of CBDT Circular No. 17/2019, dated 8-8-2019, same was not maintainable and should be dismissed. Held: Supreme Court in case of Keshav Power Ltd., applied Circular No. 17/2019 dated 08-08-2019, and dismissed appeal holding as since tax effect involved in matter was less than Rs. 2 crores, going by latest circular issued by CBDT, no reason was there for interference. Following the aforesaid appeal of revenue was dismissed as non-maintainable.
