Dear Professional Colleague,

Any law, irrespective of its time and place of enforcement

and even the stakeholders, is driven on the tight rope of

compliance where a major concern is to avoid non-

compliance in any given scenario. As far as the Indian

context is concerned, the Central Excise and Service Tax

made way for the Goods and Services Tax. The quote

above, too, seems to have served as basis for this radical

revolution in the Indian indirect taxation arena.

However, two years since the enactment of the law, the

issues raised in the preceding law have proved to be

hurdles in the way forward for this novel initiative of the

Government of India. Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, Hon'ble Finance Minister of India, too, in her

Budget speech had raised concerns regarding the huge pending litigations from pre-GST

regime. And it was with this thought and the guiding intent of promoting ease of doing

business that the Sabka Vishwas (Legacy Dispute Resolution) Scheme, 2019 ('LDS') was

introduced in the Budget. Very recently the Central Board of Indirect tax and Customs had

released the Sabka Vishwas (Legacy Dispute Resolution) Scheme Rules, 2019 to be made

effective from 1st September, 2019.

The objectives as quoted for the scheme focus upon encouraging voluntary disclosure of

past disputes, facilitation of declaration and payment of unpaid tax dues and most importantly

to provide immunities to those paying the declared tax dues. Not only is the scheme a path

breaker from legislative point of view but shall accord much needed relief to the stakeholders.

Even so, a landmark move, the Scheme shall go a long way in providing a clear the road

ahead for the relatively new law, i.e., the Goods and Services Tax.

Understanding the true intent of the Government behind initiating this scheme, as

professionals it is imperative for all of us that we realise our responsibility and make it a true

success. Assisting our clients and the entire corporate brigade in making the most of this

opportunity shall go a long way in making GST a success thereby fulfilling the role as India's

GST Partner.
