This review covers the tax dispute case of Mr. Deepak Gupta for the assessment year 2014-15, which he opted to resolve under the Direct Tax Vivad Se Vishwas Act, 2020.
The case, originally presided over by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal in Delhi, involved Mr. Gupta appealing against the order of the CIT(A)-24, New Delhi. The dispute was related to tax arrears which Mr. Gupta chose to settle through the Vivad Se Vishwas scheme, effectively ceasing further litigation.
The appeal was scheduled for a hearing on October 9, 2020, via video conferencing. Prior to the hearing, Mr. Gupta, through his counsel, submitted a request for withdrawal of the appeal, citing his decision to settle the dispute under the Vivad Se Vishwas Act. This request was accompanied by a certificate confirming his eligibility under the Act.
The Tribunal accepted Mr. Gupta’s withdrawal request, leading to a dismissal of the appeal. This decision highlights the effectiveness of the Vivad Se Vishwas scheme as a means to reduce litigation and provide taxpayers a straightforward path to resolve disputes.
This case serves as a significant example of how legislative measures like the Vivad Se Vishwas Act are instrumental in simplifying the tax dispute resolution process. It not only aids taxpayers in resolving disputes amicably but also helps in decongesting the judicial system.
