How to invest in Havas from India
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.
Step 2
Add funds from your Indian bank account
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, and Interactive Brokers converts the dollars to EUR when you buy.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy Havas stock from India?
Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Havas (HAVAS) shares directly through Paasa. Havas is listed on Euronext Amsterdam, in the Advertising Agencies industry. Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.
How are Havas dividends taxed for Indian investors?
Havas trades on Euronext Amsterdam but is domiciled in France, so any withholding on its dividends follows that country's rules rather than those of the Netherlands. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Paasa's dividend report shows the gross amount and any tax withheld for each payment.
What tax do I pay in India when I sell Havas 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.
