The Settlement Act is a self-contained code prescribing conditions, methodology and consequences of settlement and does not permit designated authorities to import MVAT Section 50 adjustment powers when determining settlement dues; refunds are not treated as payments in respect of statutory orders and arrears are computed year-wise, so adjusting a 2007-08 refund against a 2008-09 settlement is barred and defeats the scheme.
