Revenue’s threshold statement explains withdrawal
In Income Tax Appeal No. 9 Of 2023 concerning Xander Advisors, Revenue stated that tax effect was below Rs.2 crore and requested withdrawal under Circular 09/2024 dated 17 September 2024. The Court accepted that request. The appeal ended under the stated litigation-policy basis rather than a merits appraisal of the taxpayer’s position.

Preserve the threshold and its historical role
Rs.2 crore is the limit recited in this order, not the exact tax effect or a verified current threshold. The source gives no assessment year, computation or exception analysis. The result should not be cited as substantive approval of the Tribunal’s tax reasoning; the underlying decision is required for that question.
