About

Founded in 2012 and headquartered in South San Francisco, California, Atara Biotherapeutics, Inc. is dedicated to pioneering ready-to-use (off-the-shelf) T-cell immunotherapies. Their primary focus in the United States involves creating treatments for patients battling cancer, autoimmune disorders, and viral infections. A key therapeutic candidate, tabelecleucel, is currently undergoing Phase 3 clinical trials for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-driven post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease, as well as various hematologic and solid tumors, such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The company is also advancing a robust pipeline of next-generation CAR T immunotherapies designed to combat hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. This includes ATA2271 and ATA3271 targeting mesothelin, alongside ATA2431 and ATA3219 for B-cell malignancies. Furthermore, Atara is developing ATA188 for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and the ATA368 program specifically for cancers associated with human papillomavirus (HPV). To bolster its research and development efforts, Atara Biotherapeutics has established significant collaborations and licensing agreements. These include a licensing partnership with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, a license and R&D collaboration with QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, and a strategic alliance with H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center. Additionally, the company holds a strategic partnership with Bayer AG focused on mesothelin-targeted CAR T-cell therapies for solid tumors.

FAQs

Can Indian residents buy Atara Biotherapeutics stock?

Yes. Atara Biotherapeutics (ATRA) has been listed on NASDAQ since 2014, in the Biotechnology industry, and Indian residents can buy it through Paasa. You fund the account from your Indian bank under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the money is converted to US dollars. Shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers LLC and are SIPC-insured up to $500,000 in total, including $250,000 for cash.

How much does one Atara Biotherapeutics share cost in rupees?

One Atara Biotherapeutics share is $8.57 — about ₹823 at a USD/INR rate of 95.93 on 27 Sep 2026. Both the Atara Biotherapeutics 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 Atara Biotherapeutics 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. FX and the LRS declaration are handled by your bank when you fund your account.

Can I buy whole shares of Atara Biotherapeutics?

Yes. One Atara Biotherapeutics share is $8.57, and you can buy as many whole shares as you like. You can also buy by amount rather than by quantity: there is no minimum trade size, and Paasa supports fractional investing in Atara Biotherapeutics.

How are gains on Atara Biotherapeutics shares taxed in India?

The US does not levy capital gains tax on shares for Indian residents, 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 USD/INR rate on the purchase and the sale date, so the rupee move counts alongside the Atara Biotherapeutics price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.

Does Atara Biotherapeutics pay a dividend?

No. Atara Biotherapeutics does not currently pay a dividend, so holding it produces no dividend income to declare in India. If it starts paying one, the Indian treatment is the usual one — dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India — and Paasa's dividend report would show the gross amount and any tax withheld.

When can I trade Atara Biotherapeutics from India?

NASDAQ trades 7:00 pm – 1:30 am IST in Indian time, so the close lands after midnight. The window shifts to 8:00 pm – 2:30 am IST when the US is on standard time. Orders can only execute during that window.

Is there estate or inheritance tax on Atara Biotherapeutics shares held from India?

US-situs assets such as US-listed shares can be exposed to US estate tax for non-US persons. It applies to your overall holdings in that jurisdiction rather than to any one position. Paasa's US estate tax calculator shows the exposure for a given portfolio value.

Do I have to declare Atara Biotherapeutics 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 Atara Biotherapeutics holding, its cost and its closing value.

How do I sell Atara Biotherapeutics and bring the money back to India?

You sell during market hours (7:00 pm – 1:30 am IST) and the proceeds settle in USD 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.
