India to get access to Swiss bank accounts

India to get access to Swiss bank accounts
New Delhi: India will soon get access to Swiss bank accounts.

The new tax treaty signed by India with Switzerland has got the nod from a Swiss parliamentary committee.

The revised bilateral treaty will come into force soon.

The new terms of the amended Indo-Swiss tax treaty will allow Indian authorities to get information on accounts more easily.

But this new treaty will only act as a deterrence to future tax evasions. Though it will be tougher to get information on old transfers.
