According to an announcement from India's Central Board of Direct Taxes and Slovenia's Ministry of Finance, officials from the two countries signed a protocol to their 2003 income tax treaty on 17 May 2016. The protocol amends Article 26 (Exchange of Information) to bring it in line with the OECD standard for information exchange and adds a new article on assistance in the collection of taxes. It is the first to amend the treaty and will enter into force after the ratification instruments are exchanged.
