2019 (11) TMI 1413 - AT - Income TaxMaintainability of Appeal - low tax effect - Addition of unexplained cash credits (accommodation entries in the shape of share capital) - whether these cases fall in the exception as provided in para 10(e) of the Circular No. 3 of 2018? - HELD THAT:- As per the original Circular No. 3 of 2018 these matters do not fall in the exception, however, the said circular was amended by the CBDT vide Notification dated 20.08.2018 and the amended para 10 of Circular No. 3 of 2018 Even as per Circular No. 23 of 2019 dated 6th September, 2019 the exception is provided only in the cases where organized tax evasion is noticed through bogus long term capital/short term capital gain on penny stocks. Therefore, the said Circular cannot be applied in the cases when the addition is not in respect of capital gain on penny stocks. Accordingly, the said circular will not help the cases of the department. Thus we hold that the appeals filed by the revenue do not fall in the exception as provided in the amended para 10(e) of the Circular No. 3 of 2018. Accordingly, the appeal of the department is not maintainable being monetary limit is less than/not exceeding ₹ 50,00,000/-. - Decided against revenue.
