Queries have been received regarding the applicability of Circular 21 of 2015 to cross objections filed by the Department before the ITAT under section 253(4) of the Income-tax Act and to references to the High Court under sections 256(1) and 256(2) of the Act. <\/p>\n<p>2. The matter was examined in the CBDT and it is clarified that the monetary limit of Rs. 10 lakhs for filing appeals before the ITAT would apply equally to cross objections under section 253(4) of the Act. Cross objections below this monetary limit, already filed, should be pursued for dismissal as withdrawn\/ not pressed. Filing of cross objections below the monetary limit may not be considered henceforth. <\/p>\n<p>3.
