MR. RAJEEV JHUNJHUNWALA,HOWRAH vs. ITO, WARD - 47(2), KOLKATA

In this case, the ld. Authorized Representative for the assessee submitted that he has decided to settle the dispute involved in the said appeals under the Direct Tax Vivad Se Vishwas Act, 2020 and has duly filed the declarations in Form No. 1 and Form No. 2 but the Designated Authority has not issued the certificate in Form No. 3 as per Section 5(1) of the Scheme so far determining the tax payable by him under the same Scheme. & 2397/KOL/2018 Assessment Years: 2014-2015 & 2015-2016 Rajeev Jhunjhunwala

Keeping in view these facts and circumstances of the case including especially the fact that the assessee has duly complied with the necessary requirements under Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme, 2020, I permit the assessee to withdraw these appeals and dismiss the appeals with the liberty to the assessee that in case, there is any problem in issuance of the certificate in Form No. 3 by the Designated Authority or any other such situation making the assessee not eligible to opt for the Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme, 2020, it will have the liberty to approach this Tribunal with a request for restoration of these appeals.

In the result, both the appeals filed by the assessee are dismissed as withdrawn. Order pronounced in the open Court on February 22, 2021.
