How to invest in EssilorLuxottica from India

  1. 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.

    Find EssilorLuxottica by name or by its ticker, EL, and place your order.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy EssilorLuxottica stock from India?

Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy EssilorLuxottica (EL) shares directly through Paasa. EssilorLuxottica is listed on Euronext Paris, in the Medical - Instruments & Supplies industry. Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.

What tax do I pay in India when I sell EssilorLuxottica shares?

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 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.
