Singh, his cook Madan Gopal and friend Rajesh Verma reached the NIA office where the JIT will question the three in the presence of National Investigation Agency (NIA) officials, informed sources told IANS.
The three were questioned by the NIA on March 26 in the national capital and have been living under the agency's supervision since then, the sources said.
Singh has claimed that he, Verma and cook Gopal were abducted by four or five heavily-armed terrorists near Punjab's Kolia village on January 2.
The terrorists later attacked the Pathankot Indian Air Force base in which seven security personnel were killed. The Pakistani terrorists were later killed in a shootout.
The Pakistani team is in India to probe the Pathankot attack, which New Delhi says was masterminded by Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Maulana Masood Azhar.
On Monday and Tuesday, the NIA submitted evidence to the five-member Pakistani team on the terror attack.
According to NIA sources, the evidence show that the Pathankot operation was planned by elements in Pakistan.
The visiting team comprises among others Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) official Lt. Colonel Tanvir Ahmed and military intelligence officer Lt. Colonel Irfan Mirza.
