Why invest in BOTZ from India
What BOTZ holds
The Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence UCITS ETF (BOTZ LN) is designed to mirror the financial outcomes, comprising capital gains and dividends, of the Indxx Global Robotics & Artificial Intelligence Thematic v2 Index, without considering fees and costs.
Outside US estate tax
BOTZ is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Hold a dollar asset
BOTZ is priced in US dollars, so a weaker rupee adds to what it's worth in rupees. The rupee depreciated over 85% against the dollar between 2010 and 2025.
Paasa handles the paperwork
Investing abroad brings paperwork with it: remittance filings, capital gains reporting, foreign asset disclosure. Paasa prepares all of it for you. Your India-ready tax reports arrive at year end, ready to file.
Why BOTZ's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
BOTZ is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
On the US shares the fund holds, the 15% US dividend withholding is paid inside the fund, and you cannot claim it as a Foreign Tax Credit in India.
Capital gains are taxed in India the same way as on a US-listed ETF.

What is the expense ratio of BOTZ?
Global X - Robotics & Artificial Intelligence UCITS ETF has an expense ratio of 0.5% a year, taken from the fund's assets rather than billed to you. The fund manages about $164.7M.
Is BOTZ a UCITS ETF, and why does that matter for Indian investors?
Yes. Global X - Robotics & Artificial Intelligence UCITS ETF is a UCITS fund domiciled in Ireland. Because it is domiciled outside the US, it is not a US-situs asset, so US estate tax does not apply to it.

What tax do I pay in India when I sell BOTZ?
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 USD/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.
