BIPASHA SAHANA ,HOOGHLY vs. I.T.O.,WARD-23(4), HOOGHLY

None appeared for the appellant. At the outset, it is noticed from the letter of the assessee dated 23.08.2021 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 pursuant to which the assessee had received Form No. 3 from the Competent Authority. Therefore, taking into consideration the fact that since the assessee has opted for the Scheme and is in receipt of Form no. 3, 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 and is in receipt of Form no. 3, therefore, I allow the assessee to withdraw the captioned appeal. In case, if in any case the assessee is not able to complete the process envisaged in the Bipisha Sahana. A.Y. 2015-16 Scheme, 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.

Needless to say that the 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” provided the assessee remits the tax due as per Form no. 3 of the Scheme.

In the result, the appeal of assessee is dismissed as withdrawn.
