This document provides a comprehensive review of the tribunal case ITA No. 132/DEL/2019 involving Zel Jewellers Limited and the Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax, Circle-27(1), New Delhi, for the assessment year 2010-11. The case focuses on the taxpayer’s decision to opt for the Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme as a strategy for resolving outstanding tax disputes.
Zel Jewellers Limited faced tax assessments for the year 2010-11, which led to disputes that were escalated to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal. The case elucidates on the procedural aspects and the strategic decision by the appellant to withdraw the appeal in favor of settling disputes under the Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme, 2020.
The appeal was initially directed against the order of the learned CIT(A)-9, New Delhi. However, the appellant, Zel Jewellers Limited, submitted a request for withdrawal of the appeal, indicating a preference for a settlement under the specified scheme, which was introduced by the government to reduce litigation in direct tax disputes.
The decision to opt for settlement under the Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme reflects a pragmatic approach to dispute resolution in the context of taxation. This move not only impacts the appellant by potentially reducing legal costs and uncertainties but also serves as a precedent for other taxpayers contemplating similar disputes.
The case of Zel Jewellers Ltd represents a significant example of how tax litigation can be effectively managed through government schemes aimed at reducing prolonged disputes and fostering a cooperative approach between taxpayers and tax authorities.
