Where a declarant furnished details under the Voluntary Compliance Encouragement Scheme (VCES) and received an acknowledgement of discharge, the scheme grants immunity from penalty, interest and further proceedings in respect of the declared tax dues; consequently, any subsequent notice or recovery proceeding that seeks to assess or recover an identical liability or that overlaps even slightly with dues already discharged under VCES is barred.
