How to invest in Old Mutual 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 GBP when you buy.

  3. Step 3

    Search OMU and buy

    Find Old Mutual by name or by its ticker, OMU, and place your order.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy Old Mutual stock from India?

Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Old Mutual (OMU) shares directly through Paasa. Old Mutual is listed on the London Stock Exchange, in the Insurance - Life industry. Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.

How are Old Mutual dividends taxed for Indian investors?

Old Mutual trades on the London Stock Exchange but is domiciled in South Africa, so any withholding on its dividends follows that country's rules rather than those of the UK. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Paasa's dividend report shows the gross amount and any tax withheld for each payment.

What tax do I pay in India when I sell Old Mutual shares?

Non-residents are exempt from UK capital gains tax on the disposal of listed 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 GBP/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.

Is there stamp duty when I buy Old Mutual shares?

The UK charges 0.5% Stamp Duty Reserve Tax when buying direct company shares electronically on the LSE; ETFs and UCITS funds do not attract it.
