28 April 2016 Dear Sir / Madam,

This is regarding the latest Amnesty Scheme declared by the Government of Maharashtra. I have some questions regarding the applicability of Amnesty. Whether this amnesty scheme is available in all the cases of appeal and in the cases where the matter of dispute is there.

We filed appeal genearlly in the matter of dispute only but say for e.g. in the Real estate vat liability on flats with retrospective effect as per the SC order on VAT on works contract . Whether this is also covered in Amnesty scheme ?

28 April 2016 Amnesty scheme is applicable to all. But mind well, whatever you have already paid to Govt, whether by way of interest is NOT to be considered for amnesty. That is to say amnesty is for prospective period, whatever paid earlier is GONE.

29 April 2016 Dear Sir,

Thanks for your reply. But normally the Amnesty scheme is for the matter of dispute like classification of goods, etc. Where there is no dispute of a[pplicability of tax and the matter has been at appeal only on the ground of non-merit then whther amnesty scheme will be applicable to this also ?

29 April 2016 It is made applicable in such cases also. This might be to reduce the number of cases at appeal stage.
