Frequently asked questions
Can I buy The People's Insurance Company (Group) of China stock from India?
Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy The People's Insurance Company (Group) of China (1339) shares directly through Paasa. The People's Insurance Company (Group) of China is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, in the Insurance - Property & Casualty industry. Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.
Do I need to buy a full The People's Insurance Company (Group) of China share?
Usually more than one, and not a fraction: many Hong Kong listings trade in board lots, so the smallest order is one lot rather than one share. At HK$5.61 a share, size the order by the lot, not by the share.
How are The People's Insurance Company (Group) of China dividends taxed for Indian investors?
The People's Insurance Company (Group) of China trades on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange but is domiciled in China, so any withholding on its dividends follows that country's rules rather than those of Hong Kong. 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 The People's Insurance Company (Group) of China shares?
Hong Kong generally does not levy capital gains tax on non-resident individual investors for HKEX-listed stocks. 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 HKD/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.
