1227. Whether income-tax clearance certificate under the section is necessary in a case where Government is transferor
The Board have considered the question whether an Income-tax clearance certificate under section 230A is necessary in a case where the Government is a transferor. They are advised that the expression “person” appearing in section 230A has been used only in the context of those entities which are required to pay income-tax and taxes under various Acts mentioned in clause (a) of sub-section (1) thereof. It, therefore, follows that section 230A is not applicable to those cases which involve registration of documents in which the Government is a transferor.
