Meanwhile, Singaporean business leaders called for reduction in tax rates under the Singapore-India Tax Treaty from the current 5% to 10%, or even 7.5%.

These proposals came following the signing of a Joint Intention Document as part of the first Singapore-India CEOs Forum held on 14 November, reported the Press Trust of India (PTI).

The document, signed by Former President of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry Harshavardhan Neotia and Chairman of Singapore Business Federation’s South Asia Business Group Gautam Banerjee, aims to double bilateral investments to 250 billion USD in the next 5 years.
