Vivad se Vishwas Scheme
Honorable Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had announced the Direct Tax Vivad se Vishwas Scheme in her speech on Union Budget 2020. The Direct Tax Vivad se Vishwas Scheme was enacted into Direct Tax Vivad se Vishwas on 17 March 2020.
The scheme was introduced in order to reduce the burden of pending litigations that are disputed at either Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) or Income Tax Appellee Tribunal or High Court or Supreme Court. Taxpayer gets an opportunity to evaluate either to settle the matter under the DTVSV scheme or continue with the litigation.
Government has time and again increased the due dates for declaration and payment under the Vivad se Vishwas Scheme as the benefit of the scheme could not be taken by taxpayers at large, as soon after the scheme was announced, the world witnessed the COVID 19 pandemic.
