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 HKD when you buy.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy HK Electric Investments and HK Electric Investments stock from India?
Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy HK Electric Investments and HK Electric Investments (2638) shares directly through Paasa. HK Electric Investments and HK Electric Investments is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, in the Regulated Electric 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 HK Electric Investments and HK Electric Investments share?
Usually more than one, and not a fraction: many Hong Kong listings trade in board lots, so the smallest order is one lot rather than one share. At HK$6.21 a share, size the order by the lot, not by the share.
What tax do I pay in India when I sell HK Electric Investments and HK Electric Investments shares?
Hong Kong generally does not levy capital gains tax on non-resident individual investors for HKEX-listed stocks. 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 HKD/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.
Would my heirs owe estate tax on HK Electric Investments and HK Electric Investments shares?
Hong Kong has no estate duty. That is the source-country side; the shares themselves pass on like any other asset you hold in your own name.
