Tax clearance certificate requirement applies on departure from India when requested by Customs Officer for verification.

Any person leaving India may, at the request of a Customs Officer, be required to produce for examination the tax clearance certificate or the exemption certificate, as the case may be. The rule imposes a departure-stage compliance requirement and permits customs verification of the relevant certificate. A correction note records that the numbered sub-rule marking was later corrected by notification.
