Why invest in CRPU from India
What CRPU holds
This investment vehicle's purpose is to closely follow the trajectory of an underlying index. This index is formed by investment-grade corporate bonds originating from businesses situated in both established and emerging global economies.
Outside US estate tax
CRPU 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
CRPU 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 CRPU's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
CRPU is domiciled in Ireland, 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.

What tax do I pay in India when I sell CRPU?

Paasa's capital-gains statement gives you the figures for your return.
