The Indian government has issued a clarification on a social media influencer's video about income-tax clearance certificates for travel abroad.
The Press Information Bureau (PIB) labeled the video 'fake' and stated that tax clearance certificates are not mandatory for everyone, but only required for specific individuals under certain circumstances.
CA Sarthak Ahuja, the influencer, responded by saying his video was not misleading and that he clearly stated it was for people without taxable income or PAN.
The PIB shared a link to a press release from 2024 debunking misinformation and explaining the nuances of tax clearance certificates.
