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.

Find the fund by its ticker, EINC, on NYSE Arca, and place your order. Fractional units are available and there is no minimum trade size, so you can buy by amount.
Why invest in EINC from India
What EINC holds
The VanEck Energy Income ETF (EINC) strives to mirror as closely as possible the capital growth and income generation of the MVIS North America Energy Infrastructure Index (MVEINCTG), prior to the deduction of its own fees and expenses. This benchmark index is constructed to measure the overall financial performance of North American firms operating within the midstream energy industry, including Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) and companies focused on the storage and transportation of oil and natural gas.
Hold a dollar asset
EINC 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.
Buy a fraction of a unit
Buy by amount, not by unit, and get the matching fraction of one EINC unit. 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.
Planning to hold more than $60,000 in US ETFs? Here's what US estate tax means for you.
US-domiciled ETFs held in your own name fall under US estate tax rules. If your US holdings cross $60,000, the amount above that can be taxed at up to 40% when the account passes to your family.
A UCITS ETF tracking a similar market sits outside US estate tax.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy EINC from India?
Yes. Indian residents can buy VanEck Energy ETF (EINC) through Paasa. It is listed on NYSE Arca and trades in US dollars. Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme, and the units are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.
What does EINC invest in?
VanEck Energy ETF holds 32 securities. Its largest holdings are Enbridge Inc (8.1%), Williams Cos Inc/The (7.9%) and Tc Energy Corp (7.0%). Utilities is its largest sector at 0.4%. It is a distributing fund domiciled in the US.
What is the expense ratio of EINC?
VanEck Energy ETF has an expense ratio of 0.46% a year, taken from the fund's assets rather than billed to you. The fund manages about $77.8M.
How are EINC dividends taxed in India?
VanEck Energy ETF is a distributing fund. It pays the dividends from its holdings out to you in cash. The US withholds 25% tax on dividends before they reach you; Paasa files Form W-8BEN for you, and the tax withheld can generally be claimed as a credit when you file in India. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Paasa's dividend report lists the gross dividend and any tax withheld for each payment.
What tax do I pay in India when I sell EINC?
The US does not levy capital gains tax on shares for Indian residents. 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 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.
Can I buy a fraction of one EINC unit?
Yes. You can buy by amount rather than by unit and add to your position over time. One unit is $112.84, and there is no minimum trade size.
What happens to my EINC units if I pass away?
US-domiciled ETFs held in your own name fall under US estate tax rules. If your US holdings cross $60,000, the amount above that can be taxed at up to 40% when the account passes to your family. A UCITS ETF tracking a similar market sits outside US estate tax. Paasa's US estate tax calculator shows the exposure for a given portfolio value.
