In light of this, the appellant sought to withdraw the appeal.
The Vivad se Vishwas Scheme is a dispute resolution initiative introduced by the Indian government to settle pending direct tax litigation. The scheme aims to reduce tax litigation and promote quick settlements.
The Tribunal acknowledged the submission and dismissed the appeal as withdrawn. However, it granted liberty to the assessee to seek a recall of the order if the settlement under the scheme was unsuccessful.
