3.India has revised its three decade old tax treaty with France, which will help major French companies save millions of dollars in dividend levies, while it also broadens New Delhi's powers to tax certain transactions, the finance ministry said on Monday.Under the new rules, French companies holding at least 10% in an Indian entity will pay a 5% tax on dividends, down from 10% earlier.
