Gopal & Satendra Pandey Date of Hearing: 07.10.2013 Date of Pronouncement: 07.10.2013 ORDER Per D. Manmohan, V.P. This appeal is filed by the Revenue against the order dated 19.07.2010 passed by the CIT(A)-1, Mumbai and it pertains to A.Y. 2006-07. 2. Revenue has raised the following grounds of appeal: - "1. On the facts and circumstances of the case, the CIT(A) erred in law, in directing to allow claim of expenses against income from other sources disallowed by the AO." 2. The CIT(A) has further overlooked the fact that the assessee has not established the nexus of expenses with reference to the income earned from other sources." 3. The learned counsel for the assessee submitted that the tax effect in the instant case works out to `2,10,289/-. As per CBDT circular No. 3 dated 09.02.2011 an appeal should not be preferred by Revenue unless the tax effect is above `3,00,000/- or the issue arising out of the order of the first Appellate Authority is exceptional in nature and it is specifically mentioned in the authorisation. In the absence of showing that the case falls under 2 ITA No. 8213/Mum/2010 M/s. Bharat Containers P. Ltd. exceptional circumstance the appeal filed by Revenue deserves to be dismissed as unadmitted. 4. On the other hand, the learned D.R. submitted that the appeal is duly authorised by the Commissioner of Income Tax and hence the AO was justified in filing the appeal. 5. We have carefully considered the rival submissions and perused the record. In the light of the circular issued by the CBDT (supra), which is binding upon the Revenue authorities, this appeal deserves to be dismissed as unadmitted for want of tax effect and we order accordingly.
