R. Jyasimha Babu, J.1. The petitioner contends that the delay in making the deposit should not come in the way of the declaration being accepted by the authorities. The declaration under the Voluntary Disclosure Scheme was filed on December 23, 1997. The tax had to be paid within 90 days by March 23, 1998. It is not the case of the petitioner that any steps had been taken for paying the tax before that date. It was only on March 24, 1998, that the petitioner purchased a draft for the amount of tax payable and that draft was credited to the account of the Income-tax Department on March 27, 1998.2.

That reason cannot be regarded as acceptable when the voluntary disclosure scheme is one which provided immunity for interest and penalties for the income that had been suppressed, subject to the terms of the scheme b...
