Re: Payment Timings of vivad se vishwas scheme

I have applied in vivad se vishwas scheme. My penalty amount is approx 3cr the payment has to be done before 31/3/2021 if not then interest will be charged. My problem is if i give half payment of 1.5cr before 31/3/21 and half afterwards what will be interest percentage charge and on what amount it will be charge (the remaining amount or on the full penalty amount). Can i payment half amount before 31/3/21 and half after the above mentioned date

Please  refer Circular No 18 /2020 dt 28 -10 -20220 , circular in respect of payment of tax . As per the Circular the declarant can make the payment without additional amount on or before 31 St March , 2021    Please also refer Circular No 21 /2020 dt 4 -12 -2020.  Q.No. 87 . and Answer state that ,once the required amount of disputed penalty has been paid by the declarant  , interest relating  to such penalty would be waived . The issue being debatable the  declarant may not get the concessional rate as applicable , up to 31 -3 -2021 .  The half amount paid may not be considered as required amount
