Maharashtra Settlement Act, 2023 | Refund Adjustment Under MVAT Act Cannot Override Amnesty Scheme Benefits : Bombay HC
Bombay High Court rules that refunds under the MVAT Act cannot be adjusted against tax demands settled under the Maharashtra Settlement Act, 2023, as it defeats the amnesty scheme's purpose. The judgment reinforces that statutory settlement schemes must be interpreted strictly to uphold their intended relief, protecting taxpayers from arbitrary adjustments.
