A Form 15CA is a declaration that is used to collect the information which is related to the payments that are chargeable to tax with Non-residents. It is a useful system that provides an effective information processing system. The Income Tax Department can also use the Form 15CA to trace the foreign transactions and their nature to determine their taxation. 

A Form 15CB is a form that is required to be signed by a chartered accountant. This is a certificate that confirms that you have paid all your pending taxes.
