FAQs

Can Indian residents buy Bank of Ireland stock?

Yes. Bank of Ireland (BIRG) has been listed on XETRA since 2001, in the Banks - Regional 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 and then to EUR. Shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers, segregated from Paasa's own assets.

How much does one Bank of Ireland share cost in rupees?

One Bank of Ireland share is €20.20 — about ₹2,207 at an EUR/INR rate of 109.24 on 24 Sep 2026. Both the Bank of Ireland 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 Bank of Ireland 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.

How are gains on Bank of Ireland shares taxed in India?

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 EUR/INR rate on the purchase and the sale date, so the rupee move counts alongside the Bank of Ireland price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.

Does Bank of Ireland pay a dividend, and how is it taxed in India?

Yes. Bank of Ireland pays a dividend and the current yield is 3.48%; the last declared dividend was €0.70 per share, about ₹76.47. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Paasa's dividend report lists the gross dividend and any tax withheld for each payment.

When can I trade Bank of Ireland from India?

XETRA trades 12:30 pm – 9:00 pm IST in Indian time. The window shifts to 1:30 pm – 10:00 pm IST when Germany is on standard time. Orders can only execute during that window.

Is Bank of Ireland a Germany company, and does that change how it is taxed?

Bank of Ireland trades on XETRA in EUR, but the company is domiciled in Ireland. Bank of Ireland trades as an ordinary share listed directly in Germany, not a depositary receipt. Your India-side capital-gains treatment is the same either way.

Do I have to declare Bank of Ireland 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 Bank of Ireland holding, its cost and its closing value.

How do I sell Bank of Ireland and bring the money back to India?

You sell during market hours (12:30 pm – 9:00 pm IST) and the proceeds settle in EUR 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.

Does the rupee rate affect what I make on Bank of Ireland?

Yes. Bank of Ireland 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.
