Modi slams reports of a surcharge on foreign travel calling them entirely false

He says not a single iota of truth

Prime Minister Narendra Modi denied reports claiming the government plans to impose a surcharge or tax on foreign travel, calling the claims “totally false” and having “not an iota of truth.” Responding on X, he said there is no question of restricting international travel and reiterated commitments to improve ease of doing business and ease of living. The clarification comes after Modi’s earlier appeal to tackle global disruptions, supply chain strain, and rising prices linked to conflict-driven energy costs.
