Dear Expert,
We have fully complied with the VCES after depositing 2nd installment with interest on 5.12.2014 but could not get FORM VCES-3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF DISCHARGE even after making so many efforts. All the time their reply was ' We will call you to collect the form 'but that day will never come. Now today we have received summons u/s 14 to appear on 14.5.15 with five years record.
Now my query is whether we should submit the details required for the last five years or take any other steps by seeking advise of legal advisor. Please give your valuable opinion immediately.
Regards,
WADHWA
Individual Queries Non-Receipt of FORM VCES-3 After Compliance; Concerns Over Section 14 Summons and Next Steps. An individual expressed concern about not receiving the FORM VCES-3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF DISCHARGE after complying with the Voluntary Compliance Encouragement Scheme (VCES) and subsequently receiving a summons under Section 14 to appear with five years of records. They sought advice on whether to submit the requested details or take other steps. Respondents advised that once FORM VCES-3 is issued, the matter generally cannot be reopened, but the Principal Commissioner can do so under certain conditions. They suggested requesting the department to provide the order accompanying the summons and to present compliance documents to the department. (AI Summary)
