How to invest in DBX0 from India
Step 1
Open your Paasa account
KYC takes a few minutes: PAN, Aadhaar and address proof. Your brokerage account is opened in your own name with Interactive Brokers.
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, and Interactive Brokers converts the dollars to EUR when you buy.
Step 3
Search DBX0 and buy
Find the fund by its ticker, DBX0, on XETRA, and place your order.
Why invest in DBX0 from India
What DBX0 holds
The primary goal of this investment strategy is to generate positive returns over a medium to long timeframe. It achieves this by investing in a well-balanced and diversified portfolio, consisting mainly of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track both equity and fixed-income markets.
Outside US estate tax
DBX0 is domiciled in Luxembourg, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
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 DBX0's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
DBX0 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.

What is the expense ratio of DBX0?

Is DBX0 a UCITS ETF, and why does that matter for Indian investors?

What tax do I pay in India when I sell DBX0?
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 EUR/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.
