Singapore visa process

I am travelling on a tour with my family to Singapore in the second half of May. Now that my passport renewal is done, I need to start working on the visa. I have been reading through resources available online. However, there are some queries that I hope someone here can help out with.
1. How early should I apply for the visa? Some sites mention that we cannot apply more than 30 days ahead of the travel date. However, other sites, especially travel agency sites, instruct that the visa application should be submitted at the earliest.
2. My brother's family is in Bangalore. I am in Tamil Nadu. Can we apply for the visa together through an agent in Bangalore? Our travel tickets and accommodations have been booked together. In case I need to submit proof of stay if I apply for visa alone, I will not have the booking under my name.
3. Is bank statement mandatory for everyone in the group?
4. Any recommended and trusted travel agent to get the visa process done?
5. Anything else that I should bear in mind?

Thank you.
 
I have some experience with this but can't aswer all the questions. I had applied for visa within 30 days of travel date and had to give bank statement for everyone. Interesting thing is you can't apply for visa directly (atleast it was at that time) and has to be done through approved list of agents. That agent helped us with the documentation. The visa was processed within 5 days. Some time ago MakeMyTrip also used to help with Singapore visa, not sure of the status now.

I have some experience and can chip in.
1. You need confirmed flight tickets and hotel bookings(hotel bookings can be pay later ones)
2. the validity of visa is 3 months from start date(approval date)
3. You need to show funds, bank details, ITR in some case and self signed letter of sponsorship(that you will be taking care of all expenses)
4. You need to send all passports to the agent

I had done this via Atlys and they have detailed steps and requirements listed here
