How to invest in International Entertainment 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 HKD when you buy.

  3. Step 3

    Search 1009 and buy

    Find International Entertainment by name or by its ticker, 1009, and place your order. Many Hong Kong listings trade in board lots, so the smallest order is one lot rather than one share.

Why invest in International Entertainment from India

What International Entertainment does

International Entertainment Corporation (IEC) operates as an investment holding entity, primarily engaged in the leasing of properties furnished with entertainment facilities across the Philippines, the United Kingdom, and various international markets. Its operations are structured across three distinct divisions: Hotel, Leasing, and Live Events. International Entertainment operates in the Real Estate - Services industry within the Real Estate sector.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy International Entertainment stock from India?

Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy International Entertainment (1009) shares directly through Paasa. International Entertainment is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, in the Real Estate - Services 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 International Entertainment 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$1.44 a share, size the order by the lot, not by the share.

What tax do I pay in India when I sell International Entertainment 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 International Entertainment 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.
