FX and the LRS declaration are handled by your bank when you fund your account.
What is the minimum I can buy of China Everbright Bank?
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 Bank 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 Bank price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.
Does China Everbright Bank pay a dividend, and how is it taxed in India?
Yes. China Everbright Bank pays a dividend and the current yield is 5.83%; the last declared dividend was HK$0.20 per share, about ₹2.41. 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 China Everbright Bank a Hong Kong SAR China company, and does that change how it is taxed?
China Everbright Bank trades on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in HKD, but the company is domiciled in China. China Everbright Bank 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 China Everbright Bank 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 Bank holding, its cost and its closing value.
How do I sell China Everbright Bank 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 Funds can be withdrawn in any currency to any bank account in your own name.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.
