New Delhi. The Income Tax Department has extended the deadline for giving details under ‘Vivad se Vishwas’ to March 31 for settlement of matters related to direct tax. Apart from this, the last date for depositing fees under the scheme has also been increased to 30 March.

This scheme has been selected in cases of disputed tax worth about 97,000 crore rupees.

Option to dispose of disputed charges

Dispute to trust scheme provides an option for settlement of disputed tax, disputed interest, disputed penalty or disputed fee in the context of assessment. Under this, pending cases can be settled by paying 100 percent of the disputed tax and 25 percent of the disputed penalty or interest or fee.

What happens from conflict to trust scheme

The scheme started on 17 March 2020. With the controversy, the trust scheme has been started by the central government. This is the plan of the Ministry of Finance. The main objective of this scheme is to rid the people of the tax dispute. People should not fall in the mess of court, and take advantage of this scheme and settle the tax related dispute. More than 4 lakh cases related to direct tax in the country are pending in the court. This scheme is effective to deal with it. In this, the taxpayers only have to pay the disputed tax amount. The government is exempted from interest and penalties.
