The DTVVS provisions are outlined in Sections 88 to 99 of the Finance (No. 2) Act, 2024. This article comprehensively answers all pertinent questions regarding the Scheme's FAQs, offering insights based on its current framework and the clarifications provided by the CBDT for similar schemes from preceding years. Key FAQs discussed include: ‣ What are the salient features of the Scheme? ‣ Can taxpayers opt for this Scheme if they have availed of a similar scheme announced in earlier years? ‣ How does DTVVS 2024 differ from DTVVS 2020? ‣ What are the consequences for an assessee who declares to settle disputed tax arrears under the Scheme? ‣ Does the Scheme offer immunity from prosecution to the declarant? ‣ Who is ineligible to make a declaration under the Scheme? ‣ Is the bar on making a declaration applicable solely to the assessment year for which prosecution has been initiated?
