   Corrected the DTAA (Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement) protocol year from 2015 to 2006, updated the EU Blue Card salary thresholds, corrected the Indian diaspora population count, and removed an EIC-style FDI figure that didn't belong. A first-person "I see" unverified-authority phrase found later in a cross-corpus grep was also removed.

   Before

   The roughly 300,000-strong Indian diaspora in Germany... The [Double Taxation] Avoidance Agreement between India and Germany, signed in 1995 and amended by a 2015 protocol, is the backbone of how dividends, royalties, and services flow between the two tax residencies. As of January 2026, the minimum gross salary threshold is EUR 45,300 per year for standard professions and EUR 41,042 for shortage occupations.

   After

   The roughly 300,000-strong Indian diaspora in Germany... The [Double Taxation] Avoidance Agreement between India and Germany, signed in 1995 and amended by a 2006 protocol, is the backbone of how dividends, royalties, and services flow between the two tax residencies. As of January 2026, the minimum gross salary threshold is EUR 50,700 per year for standard professions and EUR 45,934.20 for shortage occupations.

   Why: The DTAA amending protocol was misdated as 2015 instead of the correct 2006, and the EU Blue Card salary thresholds cited were stale figures well below the actual current 2026 amounts.
