    Add funds from your Indian bank account

    Remit up to $250,000 a year under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme. Your bank converts the rupees to US dollars at its rate on the day you remit, and Interactive Brokers converts the dollars to GBP when you buy.

  3. Step 3

    Search APTA and buy

    Find Aptamer by name or by its ticker, APTA, and place your order.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy Aptamer stock from India?

Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Aptamer (APTA) shares directly through Paasa. Aptamer is listed on the London Stock Exchange, in the Biotechnology industry. Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.

How are Aptamer dividends taxed for Indian investors?

Aptamer does not currently pay a dividend, so there is nothing to withhold or declare today. If it starts paying one, the UK levies 0% withholding tax on company dividends paid to non-residents, and dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India.

What tax do I pay in India when I sell Aptamer shares?

Non-residents are exempt from UK capital gains tax on the disposal of listed shares. In India, gains on shares held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5%, and gains on shares 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 GBP/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.

What happens to my Aptamer shares if I pass away?

Shares in UK-incorporated companies are UK-situs assets and fall within UK Inheritance Tax, charged at 40% above the £325,000 threshold for non-residents. The rule looks at everything you hold there, not at Aptamer alone.

Is there stamp duty when I buy Aptamer shares?

The UK charges 0.5% Stamp Duty Reserve Tax when buying direct company shares electronically on the LSE; ETFs and UCITS funds do not attract it.
