ACIT, CIRCLE- 4(2), NEW DELHI vs. BHARTI HEXACOM LTD., NEW DELHI

None is present on behalf of the assessee. However, the assessee vide application dated 21.07.2021 has requested that the present appeal of Revenue should be treated as withdrawn, as the assessee has opted to settle the dispute relating to the tax arrears for the assessment year under consideration under the “Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme, 2020”. A certificate to this effect under Section 5(1) of The Direct Tax Vivad Se Vishwas Act, 2020 has also been filed.

Learned DR, on the other hand, submits that the standing instructions are that it is only if the assessee makes payment subsequent to the processing of the case under Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme,2020, the Revenue will seek withdrawal of the case. In view of this, we make it clear that in case any objection arises in assessee making payment subsequent to processing of case under Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme,2020, the Revenue shall be at liberty to approach the Court.

In view of the above, we accept the request of the assessee for withdrawal of the appeal.
