Is American Water Works a Germany company, and does that change how it is taxed?

Do I have to declare American Water Works shares in my Indian tax return?

Funds can be withdrawn in any currency to any bank account in your own name.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.
Does the rupee rate affect what I make on American Water Works?
Yes. American Water Works is priced in EUR, so your rupee outcome combines the EUR move with the EUR/INR move between the day you remit and the day you convert back. Both directions are reflected in the capital-gains statement Paasa issues.
