Court rules in favor of petitioner on KVSS benefits withdrawal, emphasizes compliance deadline calculation.
The Court ruled in favor of the petitioner in two Writ Petitions challenging the withdrawal of benefits under the Kar Vivadh Samadhan Scheme (KVSS) and the demand for additional payment. The Court emphasized that the compliance deadline should be calculated from the date of receipt of the order, not the revised certificate date. Since the petitioner paid within 30 days of receiving the revised notice, the Court found compliance with the condition and criticized the errors in the challenged orders. The impugned orders were set aside, and no costs were awarded.
Issues: Challenge to order withdrawing benefit of Kar Vivadh Samadhan Scheme (KVSS) - Compliance with payment deadline - Calculation mistakes leading to additional payment demand - Communication of revised certificate - Computation of limitation period - Entitlement to KVSS Scheme for Assessment year 1995-96.
Analysis: The petitioner filed two Writ Petitions challenging orders by different respondents. The first petition challenged the withdrawal of KVSS benefit by the second respondent due to alleged non-payment within the deadline. The second petition sought to quash an order by the first respondent directing the petitioner to pay an additional sum and grant KVSS benefit for the Assessment year 1995-96.
The petitioner had initially paid the full tax arrears as demanded, leading to a certification of entitlement for immunity from prosecution under the Income Tax Act, 1961. However, a revision form issued later demanded further payment, which the petitioner paid within 30 days of receiving the notice. The respondents contended that the payment was not made within 30 days from the revised certificate date.
The Court emphasized that limitation for compliance should be calculated from the date of receipt of the order or proceeding, requiring communication to the assessee. As the petitioner paid within 30 days of receiving the revised notice, the Court found compliance with the condition and criticized the misconception in the impugned orders.
Consequently, the Court held in favor of the petitioner in both Writ Petitions, setting aside the impugned orders. No costs were awarded, and the connected Miscellaneous Petition was closed.
