Why invest in LEGR from India
What LEGR holds
This passively managed investment vehicle aims to replicate the financial performance (both capital growth and income) of the Indxx Blockchain Index, before accounting for any fees or expenses. This underlying Index employs a systematic methodology to identify and monitor a global collection of companies that are actively involved in utilizing, investing in, developing, or are strategically positioned to benefit from blockchain technology.
Outside US estate tax
LEGR is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Hold a dollar asset
LEGR is priced in US dollars, so a weaker rupee adds to what it's worth in rupees. The rupee depreciated over 85% against the dollar between 2010 and 2025.
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 LEGR's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
LEGR 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.

What is the expense ratio of LEGR?
First Trust Indxx Innovative Transaction & Process UCITS ETF has an expense ratio of 0.65% a year, taken from the fund's assets rather than billed to you. The fund manages about $50.4M.
Is LEGR a UCITS ETF, and why does that matter for Indian investors?
Yes. First Trust Indxx Innovative Transaction & Process UCITS ETF is a UCITS fund domiciled in Ireland. Because it is domiciled outside the US, it is not a US-situs asset, so US estate tax does not apply to it.

What tax do I pay in India when I sell LEGR?
In India, gains on foreign ETF units held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5% without indexation, and gains on units 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 USD/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.
