Why invest in DFI Retail Group from India
What DFI Retail Group does
DFI Retail Group Holdings Limited is a significant retail enterprise spanning the Asian continent.

DFI Retail Group operates in the Grocery Stores industry within the Consumer Defensive sector.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy DFI Retail Group stock from India?
Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy DFI Retail Group (D01) shares directly through Paasa. DFI Retail Group is listed on the Singapore Exchange, in the Grocery Stores industry. Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.
How are DFI Retail Group dividends taxed for Indian investors?
DFI Retail Group trades on the Singapore Exchange but is domiciled in Hong Kong SAR China, so any withholding on its dividends follows that country's rules rather than those of Singapore. 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 DFI Retail Group shares?
Singapore does not levy capital gains tax on the sale of shares, ETFs or REITs. 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.
