Step 1
Open your Paasa account

Why invest in IVCS from India
What IVCS holds
The objective of the Fund is to provide exposure global listed companies that are focused on protecting enterprises and devices from unauthorised access via electronic means.
Outside US estate tax
IVCS is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Paasa handles the paperwork
Investing abroad brings paperwork with it: remittance filings, capital gains reporting, foreign asset disclosure. Paasa prepares all of it for you. Your India-ready tax reports arrive at year end, ready to file.
Why IVCS' UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
IVCS is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
On the US shares the fund holds, the 15% US dividend withholding is paid inside the fund, and you cannot claim it as a Foreign Tax Credit in India.
Capital gains are taxed in India the same way as on a US-listed ETF.

Both are worked out in rupees at the EUR/INR rate on the day you bought and the day you sold, so the currency move is part of the gain.
