2019 (4) TMI 2030 - SCH - Income Tax

Declarations of undisclosed income - Income Declaration Scheme, 2016 - extension of time for making payment of the third installment sought - HELD THAT - Leave granted. The appellants were to pay the balance of 50 per cent of the Income Declaration Scheme, 2016, by 30.09.2017. However, by inadvertence, there was a short delay ranging from 9 to 12 days. Given the facts of these cases, we find that these are genuine cases and this short period of delay ought to be condoned. Pursuant to our orders dated 04.02.2019 and 07.02.2019, the requisite amount together with interest of 12 per cent per annum has already been deposited. The respondents are directed to accept this amount within a period of one week from today.
