just because the circular gave the waiver in black and white!

The principle is except fundamental rights of an individual every other thing is amenable to waiver as per supreme court decisions. Govt always changes its decisions after declaring specially in finance Acts, so waiver is very common, but tax assessment officer sits tight on your Return of income(ROI) then he creates a lot of problems and court cases are multiplying. CBDT circulars are very normal just because every new issue brings forth new problems then CBDT issues a circular so our finance Acts are on of the most unreliable acts of the government. so government accepts the 'prnciple of waiver' as sacrosant.

so probably soon Supreme court may come with a judgement that since 'Waivers' are common in govt then why it assessee canot be given that waiver means retractions that is normally available in criminal law as witness can retract!

it means there are no solutions to issues but just it is called 'managing' that way landed our great 'management education' that means all commercial issues are not solved but just managed  so spend few lacks to learn how to manage but not to solve!
