Amnesty Scheme for PSU Tax Arrears
In a significant relief measure, the government has introduced an Amnesty Scheme to help Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) companies settle pending tax arrears accrued under various tax laws before the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Act. The scheme will be called the ‘Maharashtra Settlement of Arrears of Tax, Interest, Penalty, or Late Fee (Payable by Public Sector Undertaking Companies) Act, 2025’. It will remain in force until December 31, 2025.
The initiative aims to streamline tax collections, reduce litigation, and facilitate financial restructuring of PSUs, ultimately strengthening the state’s fiscal health.
