Benefit of Vivad se Vishwas Scheme - the stand taken by the department is not sustainable. To begin with the act was framed for resolution of the disputed taxes and the matters connected therewith and thereto. The resolution of disputed taxes is thus prime purpose of enactment of the act. We would therefore adopt an interpretation which would further this intention instead of restricting its scope.
