Presently, authorised dealers have been delegated powers to allow certain types of remittances, subject to, among other things, production of NOC/Tax Clearance Certificate from income-tax authorities. Similarly, Reserve Bank also, while approving remittances for certain purposes, has been insisting on NOC/Tax Clearance Certificate from income-tax authorities. This procedure has been revised as notified by the Central Board of Direct Taxes, in their Circular No. 759 [F. No. 500/152/96-FTD] dated 18th November, 1997. In terms of the new procedure, a person making remittance of foreign exchange would not be required to produce NOC/Tax Clearance Certificate from income-tax authorities instead, the applicants have to submit an undertaking, in duplicate, addressed to the Assessing Officer, which should be signed b .....

The certificate does not provide for necessary details or the reasons for adopting a certain rate for deduction of tax. This results in unnecessary calling of information from the assessees at a later stage and thus gives rise to an avoidable perception of grievance on the part of the tax payer. Therefore, in order to streamline the procedure as well as to ensure the correct deduction of tax at source, the proforma of the undertaking to be given by the remitter and the certificate to be issued by a chartered accountant have been re-considered and new formats are being prescribed which are enclosed as Annexures A and B to this circular. The revised proforma for undertaking as well as the certificate shall to apply in terms of Circular No. 759, dated 18-11-1997 of CBDT. Other requirements of the Circular remain unchanged. It is reiterated that the persons making the remittances shall submit the undertaking and certificate as per Annexures A and B to the Reserve Bank of India/authorised dealer banks, who shall in turn forward the same to the Assessing Officer mentioned in the undertaking. 3.
