Can I buy SRT from India?

What is the expense ratio of SRT?
CSOP iEdge S-REIT Leaders Index ETF has an expense ratio of 0.5% a year, taken from the fund's assets rather than billed to you. The fund manages about S$123.5M.
How are SRT dividends taxed in India?
CSOP iEdge S-REIT Leaders Index ETF is a distributing fund. It pays the dividends from its holdings out to you in cash. Singapore levies 0% withholding tax on dividends from resident companies. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Paasa's dividend report lists the gross dividend and any tax withheld for each payment.
What tax do I pay in India when I sell SRT?
Singapore does not levy capital gains tax on the sale of shares, ETFs or REITs. 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 SGD/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.
