Analysis
Fight if: Dispute amount exceeds likely total cost of litigation (CA fees + lawyer fees + interest during appeal). Legal position is strong (good case law in your favour). Matter sets precedent for multiple years. Principle is important beyond money. Settle if: Dispute amount is small (below ₹2L, cost of fighting exceeds saving). Legal position is weak. You need certainty for business reasons. AO has a reasonable argument even if you disagree. Vivad se Vishwas: Government periodically opens settlement schemes. Pay disputed tax + reduced interest, get immunity from penalty and prosecution. When available, almost always better than going to ITAT.
