This article reviews the tax dispute involving Anil Jodhani and the Income Tax Officer of Ward 1(1), Faridabad, focusing on the resolution through the Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme.
Anil Jodhani filed an appeal against the order of the CIT(A), Faridabad regarding his tax assessment for the year 2015-16. The case, which was heard via virtual conferencing, highlights the procedural aspects of tax disputes and the mechanisms for their resolution.
The appeal was notable for Jodhani’s decision to opt for the Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme, which is designed to reduce litigation and facilitate the resolution of pending tax disputes. On the scheduled date of the hearing, Jodhani, through an email communicated his decision to withdraw the appeal in favor of settling the dispute under the scheme.
The tribunal accepted Jodhani’s request to withdraw the appeal, acknowledging the certificate filed under Section 5(1) of The Direct Tax Vivad Se Vishwas Act, 2020. The decision underscores the government’s effort to minimize litigation and promote a non-adversarial tax system.
This case serves as an important example of how tax disputes can be effectively resolved through government schemes aimed at reducing prolonged legal battles. It also reflects on the shifting dynamics in the approach towards handling tax litigations in India.
