How to invest in Fairfax Financial from India

    Open your Paasa account

    Find Fairfax Financial by name or by its ticker, FFH, and place your order.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy Fairfax Financial stock from India?

Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Fairfax Financial (FFH) shares directly through Paasa. Fairfax Financial is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, in the Insurance - Property & Casualty 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 Fairfax Financial 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 CAD/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.
