The government extended by a month the due date to resolve pending appeals in the case of income tax disputes under the Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme.
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) extended the due date for determining amount payable from December 31, 2024, to January 31, 2025.
The Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme was initially announced in the Union Budget for 2024-25. On September 20, the CBDT notified the Scheme that came into force with effect from October 1, 2024.
The Scheme provides for lesser settlement amounts for a 'new appellant' in comparison to an 'old appellant'.
