The Vivad se Vishwas scheme allows assessees to settle tax disputes. If an assessment was made under Section 144 for AY 2017-18, opting for the scheme means you'll likely only pay the tax amount, with interest under sections 234A, 234B, and 234C waived. Furthermore, if a penalty notice under Section 271AAC has been issued but no order has been made, the penalty proceedings should be automatically dropped upon joining the scheme.

Yes, the assessee will only be required to pay the tax amount and not the interest under sections 234A, 234B, and 234C, if the assessee opts for the scheme.
Yes, if the penalty order has not yet been issued and the assessee opts for the scheme, the penalty proceedings under Section 271AAC will generally be automatically dropped.
