  2. Step 2

    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.

  3. Step 3

    Search COLA and buy

    Find Columbus Acquisition by name or by its ticker, COLA, and place your order. Fractional shares are available and there is no minimum trade size, so you can buy by amount instead of whole shares.

Why invest in Columbus Acquisition from India

What Columbus Acquisition does

Columbus Acquisition Corp functions as a blank check company, primarily formed to complete a business combination. This objective may be achieved through various means, including but not limited to mergers, amalgamations, share exchanges, asset or share acquisitions, or reorganizations with one or more target entities. Columbus Acquisition operates in the Shell Companies industry within the Financial Services sector.

Hold a dollar asset

Columbus Acquisition shares are priced in US dollars, so a weaker rupee adds to what they're worth in rupees. The rupee depreciated over 85% against the dollar between 2010 and 2025.

Buy a fraction of a share

Buy by amount, not by share, and get the matching fraction of one Columbus Acquisition share. There is no minimum trade size.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy Columbus Acquisition stock from India?

Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Columbus Acquisition (COLA) shares directly through Paasa. Columbus Acquisition is listed on NASDAQ, in the Shell Companies industry. Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.

Do I need to buy a full Columbus Acquisition share?

No. You can buy part of one Columbus Acquisition share and add to your position over time. One share is $7.30, and you can buy whole shares or any fraction; there is no minimum trade size.

How are Columbus Acquisition dividends taxed for Indian investors?

Columbus Acquisition trades on NASDAQ but is domiciled in Singapore, so any withholding on its dividends follows that country's rules rather than those of the US. Some non-US companies list in the US through American Depositary Receipts, which can carry dividend withholding at the company's home-country rate. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Paasa's dividend report shows the gross amount and any tax withheld for each payment.

What tax do I pay in India when I sell Columbus Acquisition shares?

The US does not levy capital gains tax on shares for Indian residents. 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 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.
