The stated objectives of the Protocol were to “tackle the long pending issues of treaty abuse and round tripping of funds attributed to the India-Mauritius treaty, curb revenue loss, prevent double nontaxation, streamline the flow of investment ... stimulate the flow of exchange of information between India and Mauritius ... improve transparency in tax matters and ... help curb tax evasion and tax avoidance.”
