“The immediate tax collections have grown appreciably, and it looks like the main reason behind the substantial increase could be credited to the achievement of administration’s Vivad se Vishwas strategy.
Taxpayers have taken great advantage of this Vivad se Vishwas strategy and also have settled their older disputes and litigations using the income tax division together with decreasing their tax refunds.
This appears to be the primary reason we’re discovering a boost from the immediate tax collections,” said Neeru Ahuja, a partner at consulting company Deloitte India.
