About DTAA in Singapore and India for Capital Gains and Dividends

My personal CA is confused with this.

I am planning on incorporating my company in Singapore.

Singapore has zero capital gains tax and zero dividend tax.

India and Singapore have Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements.

Let’s say I am selling an asset of the company and it’s considered as capital gains.

If I take the money back to my personal account in India do I have to pay tax on that?

Or if I dividend out the profit back to my Indian personal account do I have to pay tax on that?

I am asking this question because of the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements between both countries.

Thank You
