Frequently asked questions
Can I buy LightOn stock from India?

Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.
What tax do I pay in India when I sell LightOn 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 EUR/INR rate on the day you bought and the day you sold, so the currency move is part of the gain.
