Why invest in EJAH from India
What EJAH holds
This fund aims to precisely mirror the financial performance of the MSCI Japan ESG Filtered Min TE (NTR) index (Bloomberg: MXJPEFMT Index), including all its market movements. A key objective is to ensure the divergence in returns between this sub-fund and its benchmark consistently remains below 1%.
Outside US estate tax
EJAH is domiciled in Luxembourg, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Dividends reinvested for you
Dividends from EJAH's holdings are reinvested inside the fund, so nothing is paid out to you and there is no dividend to declare in India.
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 EJAH's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
EJAH 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 tax do I pay in India when I sell EJAH?
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.
