Why invest in C50U from India
What C50U holds
This Amundi ETF, known as the Amundi Core EURO STOXX 50 UCITS ETF USD Acc, aims to faithfully mirror the returns of the EURO STOXX 50 Net Return EUR index. Its primary objective is to accurately track the index's performance, capturing both upward and downward market trends as precisely as possible.
Outside US estate tax
C50U is domiciled in Luxembourg, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Dividends reinvested for you
Dividends from C50U's holdings are reinvested inside the fund, so nothing is paid out to you and there is no dividend to declare in India.
Hold a dollar asset
C50U 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 C50U's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
C50U is domiciled in Luxembourg, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Capital gains are taxed in India the same way as on a US-listed ETF.

Is C50U a UCITS ETF, and why does that matter for Indian investors?

What tax do I pay in India when I sell C50U?
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.
