How to invest in Ilika 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 IKA and buy

    Find Ilika by name or by its ticker, IKA, and place your order.

About inheritance tax in the UK

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy Ilika stock from India?

Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Ilika (IKA) shares directly through Paasa. Ilika is listed on the London Stock Exchange, in the Electrical Equipment & Parts 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 Ilika dividends taxed for Indian investors?

Ilika does not currently pay a dividend, so there is nothing to withhold or declare today. If it starts paying one, the UK levies 0% withholding tax on company dividends paid to non-residents, and dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India.

What tax do I pay in India when I sell Ilika 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 Ilika 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 Ilika alone.

Is there stamp duty when I buy Ilika 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.
