Can I buy 1329 from India?
Yes. Indian residents can buy iShares Core Nikkei 225 ETF (1329) through Paasa. It is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and trades in JPY. Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme, and the units are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.

What is the expense ratio of 1329?
iShares Core Nikkei 225 ETF has an expense ratio of 0.05% a year, taken from the fund's assets rather than billed to you. The fund manages about ¥2.1T.
How are 1329 dividends taxed in India?
iShares Core Nikkei 225 ETF is a distributing fund. It pays the dividends from its holdings out to you in cash. Japan withholds a preferential 10% on dividends for Indian residents under the India–Japan DTAA rather than the higher domestic rate, and the tax withheld can be claimed as a foreign tax credit in India. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Paasa's dividend report lists the gross dividend and any tax withheld for each payment.
What tax do I pay in India when I sell 1329?
Japan generally does not levy capital gains tax on non-resident individual investors. In India, gains on foreign ETF units held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5% without indexation, and gains on units held for 24 months or less are short-term and taxed at your income-tax slab rate. Both are worked out in rupees at the JPY/INR rate on the day you bought and the day you sold, so the currency move is part of the gain. Paasa's capital-gains statement gives you the figures for your return.
Can I buy a single 1329 unit?
Usually more than one, and not a fraction: the Tokyo Stock Exchange typically trades in units of 100 shares. At ¥6,961.00 a unit, size the order by the lot.
