Why invest in LYPG from India
What LYPG holds
Amundi's UCITS-compliant exchange-traded fund aims to replicate the performance of the MSCI Daily TR World Net Information Technology USD index. This benchmark is a free-float market capitalization-weighted index, crafted to assess the investable landscape and returns of publicly listed companies within the global Information Technology sector.
Outside US estate tax
LYPG is domiciled in Luxembourg, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Dividends reinvested for you
Dividends from LYPG's holdings are reinvested inside the fund, so nothing is paid out to you and there is no dividend to declare in India.
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 LYPG's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
LYPG is domiciled in Luxembourg, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Capital gains are taxed in India the same way as on a US-listed ETF.

Is LYPG a UCITS ETF, and why does that matter for Indian investors?

What tax do I pay in India when I sell LYPG?
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 EUR/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.
