Assessment of persons leaving India: expedited tax assessment from the tax year start to departure with short notice requirements.
Clause 317 permits the Assessing Officer to assess an individual's total income from the first day of the current tax year up to the probable date of departure where the AO reasonably believes the individual intends not to return; income is assessed by completed tax years or part-years at rates in force, may be estimated if not readily determinable, and the AO may require an expedited return within a minimum seven-day period, with taxes charged under this provision being additional to other tax liabilities.
