Termination of Tax Convention: either state may terminate after five years by six months' diplomatic notice, affecting subsequent income years. The Convention may be terminated by either Contracting State after it has been in force for five years by giving at least six months' notice through diplomatic channels before the end of a calendar year. Upon such notice, the Convention ceases to apply in New Zealand for income years beginning on or after 1 April in the calendar year following the notice, and in India for any previous year beginning on or after 1 April in the calendar year following the notice; the English text prevails if texts diverge.
