FAQs
Can Indian residents buy China Everbright stock?

One China Everbright share is HK$4.59 — about ₹56 at an HKD/INR rate of 12.23 on 26 Sep 2026. Both the China Everbright price and the rupee rate move during the day, so the rupee cost changes with them.
What are the LRS and TCS rules for buying China Everbright from India?
Remit up to $250,000 per financial year under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS). Banks collect 20% tax at source on LRS remittances above ₹10 lakh in a financial year; the TCS is adjustable against your income-tax liability.

Many Hong Kong listings trade in board lots, so the smallest order is one lot rather than one share.
How are gains on China Everbright shares taxed in India?
Hong Kong generally does not levy capital gains tax on non-resident individual investors for HKEX-listed stocks, so the tax is an India-side one. Gains on shares held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5%. Gains on shares held for 24 months or less are short-term and taxed at your income-tax slab rate. The gain is computed in rupees using the HKD/INR rate on the purchase and the sale date, so the rupee move counts alongside the China Everbright price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.
Does China Everbright pay a dividend, and how is it taxed in India?
Yes. China Everbright pays a dividend and the current yield is 6.10%; the last declared dividend was HK$0.28 per share, about ₹3.42. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Paasa's dividend report lists the gross dividend and any tax withheld for each payment.

Hong Kong has no estate duty.
Do I have to declare China Everbright shares in my Indian tax return?
Yes. Foreign shares held on 31 March must be reported in Schedule FA of your Indian income-tax return. Paasa gives you a Schedule FA-ready statement listing your China Everbright holding, its cost and its closing value.
How do I sell China Everbright and bring the money back to India?
You sell during market hours (7:00 am – 1:30 pm IST) and the proceeds settle in HKD in your Paasa account. From there you can hold the balance, reinvest, or repatriate. Funds can be withdrawn in any currency to any bank account in your own name. Whether the sale is short- or long-term is decided by the 24-month holding period.
