Dispute Settlement: Decoding Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme 2.0

The Union Budget 2024 witnessed the announcement of a sequel to the widely popular and successful ‘vivad se vishwas’ dispute settlement scheme introduced by the Government in 2020, in an attempt to reduce litigation and unlock revenues under disputes for the government. On September 19, 2024, the Central Board of Direct Taxes formally notified the Direct Tax Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme 2024 (“VSVS 2.0” or “Scheme”) to take effect from October 1, 2024 along with applicable rules and forms governing the procedure for implementation of the Scheme.
