How to invest in POSCO 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.

  3. Step 3

    Search PKX and buy

    Find POSCO by name or by its ticker, PKX, and place your order. Fractional shares are available and there is no minimum trade size, so you can buy by amount instead of whole shares.

Why invest in POSCO from India

What POSCO does

POSCO Holdings Inc., a South Korean-based enterprise, operates globally in the production and sale of steel rolled products and plates through its extensive network of subsidiaries. The company’s multifaceted business is structured across four primary segments: Steel, Construction, Trading, and an expansive "Others" category. POSCO operates in the Steel industry within the Basic Materials sector.

Hold a dollar asset

POSCO shares are priced in US dollars, so a weaker rupee adds to what they're worth in rupees. The rupee depreciated over 85% against the dollar between 2010 and 2025.

Buy a fraction of a share

Buy by amount, not by share, and get the matching fraction of one POSCO share. There is no minimum trade size.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy POSCO stock from India?

Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy POSCO (PKX) shares directly through Paasa. POSCO is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, in the Steel 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 POSCO share?

No. You can buy part of one POSCO share and add to your position over time. One share is $56.41, and you can buy whole shares or any fraction; there is no minimum trade size.

How are POSCO dividends taxed for Indian investors?

POSCO trades on the New York Stock Exchange but is domiciled in South Korea, so any withholding on its dividends follows that country's rules rather than those of the US. What trades there is a depositary receipt over POSCO shares rather than the ordinary share itself. Some non-US companies list in the US through American Depositary Receipts, which can carry dividend withholding at the company's home-country rate. 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 POSCO shares?

The US does not levy capital gains tax on shares for Indian residents. 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 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.
