Mr. Subash Agarwal, Adv. Mr. Amit Shaw, Adv. Ms. Sangita Das, Adv. …for respondent. The Court : There is a delay of 70 days in filing the appeal. We are satisfied with the explanation offered for not preferring the appeal within time. Therefore, the delay is condoned. The application is allowed. IA No.GA/1/2026 is disposed of. Learned counsel appearing for the appellant submits that the tax effect in the instant appeal is Rs.19,46,700/- for the Assessment Year 2013-14. Although the tax effect in the instant case is less than the prescribed limit of CBDT Circular but the instant case falls under the exceptional clause (h) of Para No.3.1 of the CBDT’s latest Circular No.05/2024 dated 15.03.2024. 2 Perused the application and the impugned order of assessment as well as the Tribunal’s order dated 28th March, 2025. We do not find any application of the exceptional clause which may merit for consideration in this matter and as the taxable amount is below the monetary limit as prescribed in the Circular No.05/2024 dated 15.3.2024, the appeal and the application [GA/2/2026] stand dismissed.
