India: Short-term assignees subject to new tax clearance requirement in Gurgaon

Residential Permits for short-term assignees on assignments up to six months will now contain a new endorsement stating that a No Objection Certificate/Tax Clearance Certificate from the Indian Income Tax Department must be submitted at the Foreigners’ Registration Office (FRO) in Gurgaon prior to final departure.

Affected nationals must, therefore, contact their tax consultant to apply for a Tax Clearance Certificate. The special endorsement on the Residential Permit must then be cleared at the FRO in Gurgaon.
