Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, MUMBAI BENCH “F” MUMBAI
Before: SHRI S. RIFAUR RAHMAN & SHRI RAVISH SOOD
ORDER PER S. RIFAUR RAHMAN, A.M. The present appeal filed by the Revenue and cross objection filed by the assessee are against the order of Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-9, Mumbai [in short ‘CIT(A)’] for the assessment year 2012-13 dated 24.07.2018 and arises out of assessment completed u/s 143(3) r.w.s. 147 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (in short the Act).
At the outset, the Ld. AR submitted that assessee has preferred to settle the issue under Vivad Se Vishwas Act, 2020 and relevant information is filed vide letter dated 28.06.2021 and submitted that it has filed the necessary declaration under Direct Tax Vivad se Vishwas Act, 2020 (Act 3 of 2020) and confirmed the receipt of Form-3.
The Ld. DR also did not object to course so suggested.
Heard the learned Counsels for both the parties and perused material on record. Considering the fact that the assessee has sought withdrawal of the present appeal, as it has applied for settling the dispute under Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme, 2020, we permit the assessee to withdraw the appeal at this stage. However, liberty is granted to the assessee to seek restoration of this appeal in the event the application filed under Vivad Se Vishwas Tax Scheme is not accepted by the Department. It is further made clear that in such eventuality if the assessee seeks restoration of the present appeal by filing misc. application, the delay, if any, should be condoned without insisting upon filing any application for condonation of delay. This is in view of the decision of the Hon’ble Madras High Court in order dated 16th October 2020, delivered in M/s.
