What is the minimum I can buy of Watts International Maritime?
Many Hong Kong listings trade in board lots, so the smallest order is one lot rather than one share.
How are gains on Watts International Maritime 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 Watts International Maritime price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.
Does Watts International Maritime pay a dividend, and how is it taxed in India?
Yes. Watts International Maritime pays a dividend and the current yield is 3.08%; the last declared dividend was HK$0.01 per share, about ₹0.14. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Paasa's dividend report lists the gross dividend and any tax withheld for each payment.

Is Watts International Maritime a Hong Kong SAR China company, and does that change how it is taxed?
Watts International Maritime trades on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in HKD, but the company is domiciled in China. Watts International Maritime 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.
Do I have to declare Watts International Maritime 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 Watts International Maritime holding, its cost and its closing value.
How do I sell Watts International Maritime 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 Funds can be withdrawn in any currency to any bank account in your own name.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.
