Dear Ashish,
As per section 111,
Where the Commissioner of Central Excise has reasons to believe that the declaration made by a declarant under this Scheme was substantially false, he may, for reasons to be recorded in writing, serve notice on the declarant in respect of such declaration requiring him to show cause why he should not pay the tax dues not paid or short-paid.
(2) No action shall be taken under sub-section (l) after the expiry of one year from the date of declaration.
(3) The show cause notice issued under sub-section (l) shall be deemed to have been issued under section 73, or as the case may be, under section 73A of the Chapter and the provisions of the Chapter shall accordingly apply.
And Further, As per Rule 7 "
(1) The designated authority shall issue an acknowledgement of discharge under sub-section (7) of section 107 of the Act, in Form VCES - 3.
(2) The acknowledgement of discharge shall be issued within a period of seven working days from the date of furnishing of details of payment of tax dues in full along with interest, if any, by the declarant.

As it the responsibility of the designated authority to give VCES - 3 within 7 days from the date of furnishing of details of payment. If, he fails to give that, then that is the lapse from the dept.
In the mean time , if you approach to dept. they may trouble your clients asking all details and unnecessary questions. Hence, I suggest that, After elapse of one year, you can start asking the authority form VCES - 3. Why because, after elapse of 1 year he cannot ask for the details pertaining to the VCES period.
Hope you understand.
Thanks.
