How to invest in Hello 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Search MOMO and buy

    Find Hello by name or by its ticker, MOMO, and place your order. Fractional shares are available and there is no minimum trade size, so you can buy by amount instead of whole shares.

Why invest in Hello from India

What Hello does

Hello Group Inc. delivers a suite of mobile-centric social and entertainment offerings across the People's Republic of China. The company's flagship "Momo" platform comprises its primary mobile application along with numerous associated features, tools, and services. Hello operates in the Internet Content & Information industry within the Communication Services sector.

Hold a dollar asset

Hello shares are priced in US dollars, so a weaker rupee adds to what they're worth in rupees. The rupee depreciated over 85% against the dollar between 2010 and 2025.

Buy a fraction of a share

Buy by amount, not by share, and get the matching fraction of one Hello share. There is no minimum trade size.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy Hello stock from India?

Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Hello (MOMO) shares directly through Paasa. Hello is listed on NASDAQ, in the Internet Content & Information industry. Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.

Do I need to buy a full Hello share?

No. You can buy part of one Hello share and add to your position over time. One share is $4.95, and you can buy whole shares or any fraction; there is no minimum trade size.

How are Hello dividends taxed for Indian investors?

Hello trades on NASDAQ but is domiciled in China, so any withholding on its dividends follows that country's rules rather than those of the US. What trades there is a depositary receipt over Hello shares rather than the ordinary share itself. Some non-US companies list in the US through American Depositary Receipts, which can carry dividend withholding at the company's home-country rate. 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 Hello shares?

The US does not levy capital gains tax on shares for Indian residents. 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 USD/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.
