SHRI DHRUV MOHTA,IMPHAL vs. DEPUTY COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX, CIRCLE-OMPHAL, IMPHAL

None appeared on behalf of the assessee. At the outset, it is noticed from the letter of the assessee dated 07.01.2021 that the assessee had opted for Direct Tax Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme, 2020 (hereinafter, the ‘scheme’) and had filed Form-1 & Form-2 before the Competent Authority and is awaiting the issue of Form No. 3 from the Competent Authority. Therefore, taking into consideration the fact that since the assessee has opted for the Scheme for the AY 2011-12, there is no point in keeping the impugned appeal pending.

In the light of the aforesaid discussion, I treat this submission of the assessee informing the Tribunal the fact that assessee has opted for the said scheme, therefore, I allow the assessee to withdraw the impugned appeal. In case, if the competent authority as per the scheme does not accept the assessee’s proposal to opt for the Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme, 2020, then the assessee is at liberty to move an application for recalling this order. With the aforesaid caveat, I allow the assessee to withdraw the captioned appeal. Shri Dhruv Mohta, AY 2011-12 4. Needless to say that my aforesaid action allowing the assessee to withdraw the appeal, will not come in the way of the competent authority of Revenue to accept the assssee’s said option/scheme for availing “Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme, 2020”.

In the result, the appeal of assessee is dismissed as withdrawn.
