How are gains on China Reinsurance (Group) 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 Reinsurance (Group) price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.

China Reinsurance (Group) trades on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in HKD, but the company is domiciled in China. China Reinsurance (Group) trades as an ordinary share listed directly in Hong Kong, not a depositary receipt. Your India-side capital-gains treatment is the same either way.
