FAQs
Can Indian residents buy Chunghwa Telecom stock?
Yes. Chunghwa Telecom (CHT) has been listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 2003, in the Telecommunications Services 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 Chunghwa Telecom share cost in rupees?
One Chunghwa Telecom share is $45.59 — about ₹4,379 at a USD/INR rate of 96.06 on 29 Sep 2026. Both the Chunghwa Telecom 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 Chunghwa Telecom 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 Chunghwa Telecom?
Yes. One Chunghwa Telecom share is $45.59, 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 Chunghwa Telecom.
How are gains on Chunghwa Telecom 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 Chunghwa Telecom price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.
Does Chunghwa Telecom pay a dividend, and how is it taxed in India?
Yes. Chunghwa Telecom pays a dividend and the current yield is 3.62%; the last declared dividend was $1.61 per share, about ₹154.77. 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 Chunghwa Telecom from India?
The New York Stock Exchange 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 Chunghwa Telecom a United States company, and does that change how it is taxed?
Chunghwa Telecom trades on the New York Stock Exchange in US dollars, but the company is domiciled in Taiwan. Chunghwa Telecom trades as an American Depositary Receipt rather than an ordinary share. Some non-US companies list in the US through American Depositary Receipts, which can carry dividend withholding at the company's home-country rate. Your India-side capital-gains treatment is the same either way.
Do I have to declare Chunghwa Telecom 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 Chunghwa Telecom holding, its cost and its closing value.
How do I sell Chunghwa Telecom 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.
