Please give your valuable suggetions

The show cause notice is bad in law after receipt of  certificate . The assessee may write to the Assessing officer to drop the penalty proceedings  as the issue is settled under VsV.    Please refer Circular No 9/2020 dt 22 -4 -20200,   Q. No. 45 and answer ,  it is specifically stated that As per section  6 subject to the provisions of  section  5 , the DA shall not institute any proceedings in respect of an offence , or impose or levy any penalty ; or charge any interest under the Income -tax Act in respect of tax arrears. This shall be reiterated in the order under section 5 (2) passed by DA .
