Re: Query on Vivad Se Vishwas Form 4 regarding Proof of withdrawal of Appeal

Please Advice

In Form 4 of Vivad se Vishwas there is a requirement of mandatory attachment regarding proof of withdrawal of appeal. The appeal relates to Income Tax Appellate Tribunal and as per Vivad se Vishwas Act appeal pending before Income Tax Appellate Tribunal are deemed to be withdrawn from the date Certificate in Form 3 is received.

Form 3 Certificate received from CIT on 21.05.2020. Now the System is asking to submit Form 4 but there is no proof of withdrawal of appeal to attach.

Sub section 2 of Sec 4 of Vivad se Vishwas Act, 2020 —upon filing of declaration any appeal pending before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal or Commissioner (Appeals), in respect of the disputed income or disputed interest or disputed penalty or disputed fee and tax arrear shall be deemed to have been withdrawn from the date on which certificate under sub-section (1) of section 5 is issued by the designated authority.

Yes, your understanding is correct. For matters before the ITAT & CIT(A) there is no requirement to submit a proof of withdrawal. It is only after getting certificate from the designated authority , the assessee has to intimate to the CIT(A), if the appeal is pending before CIT (A) . If the appeal is pending before the ITAT the assessee has to intimate to the  Registrar of ITAT giving details of ITA No and Bench . The Tribunal will pass the consequential order .

  2. V. R. Patil says:

    In form 4, the proof of withdrawal of appeal is called.
    If assessee not withdrwn appeal before CIT (A). and mentioned reply in the column not applicable.
    Whether the designated authority will approve form 4

  3. Maurya says:

    What is crucial, that Section 4 (2) & 4(3) appears to be confusing. Further there is no link on e-filing portal to communicate the request of withdrawal. In the era of faceless where the assessee has to approach. Kindly somebody can clarify.

    • RAMKUMAR LAL SRIVASTAVA(Advocate) says:

      Form 4 has been prepared consolidated relating to all appeals which are pending. In case of appeal pending before CIT(A) and ITAT please select not applicable and submit form 4. In case of appeal pending other than CIT(a) and ITAT please select yes and submit appeal withdrawn certificate.
