Frequently asked questions
Can I buy Avolta stock from India?
Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Avolta (AVOL) shares directly through Paasa. Avolta is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange, in the Specialty Retail industry. Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.
What tax do I pay in India when I sell Avolta 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 CHF/INR rate on the day you bought and the day you sold, so the currency move is part of the gain.
