5. AKHB REVIEW POINT

Distinguish the admitted tax effect below Rs. 1 lakh from the Rs. 1 crore circular limit quoted in this 2023 order; neither is a current-law clearance. Defective Appeal No. 13 and regular Appeal No. 11 of 2023 remain distinct. The certified-copy exemption order belongs to the separate defective appeal.
