Frequently asked questions
Can I buy Holcim stock from India?
Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Holcim (HOLN) shares directly through Paasa. Holcim is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange, in the Construction Materials 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 Holcim 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.
