Frequently asked questions
Can I buy Givaudan stock from India?
Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Givaudan (GIVN) shares directly through Paasa. Givaudan is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange, in the Chemicals - Specialty 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 Givaudan 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 CHF/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.
