Since clauses of the Bill have now become sections in the Vivad Se VisWas, the reference to "clause" in circular no 7 has been replaced with "section"; Reference to declaration form in circular no 7 has been replaced with referencing of relevant form, since rules and forms have now been notified; and Answer to question no 22 has been modified to renect the COlTCCt intent of the law. It has now been clarified that where only notice for initiation of prosecution has been issued without prosecution bcing instituted, the assessee is eligiblc to file declaration under Viva(/ se Vi.\·hwas. However, where the prosecution has been instituted with respect to an assessment year, the assessec is not eligible to file declaration for that assessment year under Vivad se Vis/lWas, unlcss the prosecution is compounded before filing the declaration.
