How to invest in IG Group 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, and Interactive Brokers converts the dollars to GBP when you buy.

  3. Step 3

    Search IGG and buy

    Find IG Group by name or by its ticker, IGG, and place your order.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy IG Group stock from India?

Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy IG Group (IGG) shares directly through Paasa. IG Group is listed on the London Stock Exchange, in the Financial - Capital Markets 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 IG Group dividends taxed for Indian investors?

The UK levies 0% withholding tax on company dividends paid to non-residents. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. IG Group’s current yield is 3.22%. Paasa's dividend report lists the gross dividend and any tax withheld for each payment, which is what you need when you file.

What tax do I pay in India when I sell IG Group shares?

Non-residents are exempt from UK capital gains tax on the disposal of listed 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 GBP/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.

What happens to my IG Group shares if I pass away?

Shares in UK-incorporated companies are UK-situs assets and fall within UK Inheritance Tax, charged at 40% above the £325,000 threshold for non-residents. The rule looks at everything you hold there, not at IG Group alone.

Is there stamp duty when I buy IG Group shares?

The UK charges 0.5% Stamp Duty Reserve Tax when buying direct company shares electronically on the LSE; ETFs and UCITS funds do not attract it.
