Hi,
Am from India and I want to know whether I have any pending tax to pay at LHDN, if have means how can I clear that and get tax clearance paper?

You have not given much information. If you have  been submitting annual tax returns then you can just go to your nearest tax office with your passport and tax number/payslips and discuss it. The tax return for 2016 had to be completed by April 2017 and it takes about 3 months to verify  if it was not submitted online. If you want to know about 2017, then visit their offices. They issue the tax clearance papers. If you are leaving the country, then the company also needs to go complete the Leavers Form.

If you were leaving, the form that your employer needs to complete is CP 22A

If there is unpaid tax then this has to be paid before new approval.
