How does the Singapore e-Visa work for Indians?
Singapore approves visas electronically, so an Indian applicant gets back an e-Visa rather than a stamp in the passport. You print it and carry it alongside the passport. Nothing is affixed in advance, and an empty passport page at the checkpoint is exactly what officers expect to see.
Travel with it two ways, on paper and as a photo on your phone, so a flat battery or a missing printout never becomes the holdup. The e-Visa names the travel window you were approved for; book your flights to sit well inside it.
Approval gets you to a Singapore checkpoint. It does not, by itself, admit you. The officer at the counter makes the final call in person, and that holds for every arriving traveller, not just Indian passport holders.
