How to invest in Dai-ichi Life from India

  1. Step 1

    Open your Paasa account

    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, and Interactive Brokers converts the dollars to JPY when you buy.

  3. Step 3

    Search 8750 and buy

    Find Dai-ichi Life by name or by its ticker, 8750, and place your order. The Tokyo Stock Exchange typically trades in units of 100 shares.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy Dai-ichi Life stock from India?

Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Dai-ichi Life (8750) shares directly through Paasa. Dai-ichi Life is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, in the Insurance - Life 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 Dai-ichi Life share?

Usually more than one, and not a fraction: the Tokyo Stock Exchange typically trades in units of 100 shares. At ¥1,876.50 a share, size the order by the lot, not by the share.

How are Dai-ichi Life dividends taxed for Indian investors?

Japan withholds a preferential 10% on dividends for Indian residents under the India–Japan DTAA rather than the higher domestic rate, and the tax withheld can be claimed as a foreign tax credit in India. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Dai-ichi Life’s current yield is 3.54%. Paasa's dividend report lists the gross dividend and any tax withheld for each payment, which is what you need when you file.

What tax do I pay in India when I sell Dai-ichi Life shares?

Japan generally does not levy capital gains tax on non-resident individual investors. 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 JPY/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.

What happens to my Dai-ichi Life shares if I pass away?

Japan levies inheritance tax on Japan-located assets such as direct stocks, with an exemption of ¥30 million plus ¥6 million per statutory heir. The rule looks at everything you hold there, not at Dai-ichi Life alone.
