Re: Double amount additions in assessment, appeal and 154 application pending

AO made additions double the amount of information received from DDIT(inv ), appeal and rectification application filed. No decision is taken by AO on application 154. AO saying he cannot amend the order u/s 154. In given circumstances, on which amount assessee can go under VSV Scheme 2020

What we understand, there is a prima facie case of incorrect double addition and the AO refuses to rectify the same. Unfortunately, under VSVA, the assessee has no choice but to settle the unrectified Order as there is no evaluation of merits under VSVA.  The assessee may file Writ petition before the High Court and pray for direction to pass the order. High Court may direct the Assessing Officer to pass the order .
