Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, ‘C’ BENCH, CHENNAI
Before: SHRI MAHAVIR SINGH, VICE- & SHRI G.MANJUNATHA
PER G.MANJUNATHA, AM: These two appeals filed by the assessee are directed against separate, but identical orders of the learned CIT(A)-10, Chennai, both dated 23.08.2019 and pertain to assessment years 2013-14 & 2015-16.
At the time of hearing, none appeared on behalf of the assessee. We have heard learned DR and also perused the materials available on record. The assessee has filed a letter along with Form No.3 issued by the Department under ‘Vivad se Vishwas Scheme, 2020’ and submitted that the assessee has availed the VSVS scheme to settle its pending disputes.
The assessee further submitted that the Department has accepted applications filed by the assessee and issued Form 3 quantifying amount of taxes payable under VSVS scheme.
Therefore, the assessee submitted that both these appeals filed by the assessee may be dismissed as withdrawn. The ld. DR, on the other hand, has no objection for dismissing the appeals as the Designated Authority has issued Form 3. Therefore, considering the fact that the assessee has filed application for withdrawal of appeal and has also filed Form 3 issued by the Department, we dismiss both these appeals filed by the assessee as withdrawn. However, a liberty is given to the assessee to restore the appeals, in case the application filed by the assessee before the Designated Authority, is rejected for any reason.
