1800-11-2011 is the toll-free number for such international queries.

I have a question regarding the tax clearance. Someone told me that if you are migrating then you need A clearance certificate from the Income tax department. The indian immigration authorities may check this? Did any of you, who have moved to Australia on a PR, obtain this?

Here in Gujarat the private courier guys are charging Rs 325/kg + 12% tax for parcels above 30 kgs...
if the parcel is more then 50 kgs then the cost per kg comes down to Rs300/kg + 12%...
they will do the packing ...

My first preparation starts with telling my office collegues about my plan to move. I was bot planning to tell but we were discussing about working cultures in other country so I thought that was a good queue to tell them

was lucky they did not shoot back with many questions. On Thursday will be with mu Manager. Again did not plan to tell so early buy he is visiting from Houston so telling this kind of stuff might be better face 2 face then over phone.

I found the answer to my question above. As per the following link from the income tax department, the tax clearance certificate stands abolished and is not needed for any one leaving the country.
