The Broking division acts as a vital link between ship owners and charterers for the worldwide transport of diverse cargoes, and between buyers, sellers, and shipyards for vessel sale and purchase transactions. It also engages in futures broking. This segment's activities cover a vast array of maritime sectors, encompassing container, deep-sea tanker, and dry bulk shipping, specialized carriers for gases (LPG, ammonia, LNG), offshore operations, petrochemical transport, renewable energy logistics, shortsea routes, and niche product services, in addition to vessel sales and purchase, towage, salvage, and general transportation markets. The Financial division offers specialized investment banking services for the maritime, oil services, and natural resources industries. It arranges structured asset financing for projects across shipping, offshore, and real estate, and provides freight derivative products. Additionally, this segment manages equity and fixed-income sales and trading, conducts in-depth equity and credit research, facilitates corporate access, and delivers corporate finance advice, including guidance on equity and debt capital markets and mergers and acquisitions. The Support division provides critical ancillary services to the marine and offshore sectors, such as port agency, freight forwarding, and the supply of essential equipment and tools. The Research division is dedicated to collecting, validating, analyzing, and managing comprehensive shipping-related data to underpin informed business decisions, offering a range of valuable information and publications. Its resources include digital platforms like the Shipping Intelligence Network and World Fleet Register, as well as print publications such as Shipping Intelligence Weekly and Offshore Intelligence Monthly. This segment also delivers data and analytical support for IPOs and bond issues, provides customer service contracts primarily to financial institutions, government agencies, insurers, equipment providers, and shipbuilders, and conducts valuations for vessel owners and the financial community.

FAQs

Can Indian residents buy Clarkson stock?

Yes. Clarkson (CKN) has been listed on the London Stock Exchange since 1988, in the Marine Shipping 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 GBP. Shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers, segregated from Paasa's own assets.

How much does one Clarkson share cost in rupees?

One Clarkson share is £51.50 — about ₹6,541 at a GBP/INR rate of 127.01 on 24 Sep 2026. Both the Clarkson 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 Clarkson 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 Clarkson shares taxed in India?

Non-residents are exempt from UK capital gains tax on the disposal of listed shares, 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 GBP/INR rate on the purchase and the sale date, so the rupee move counts alongside the Clarkson price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.

Does Clarkson pay a dividend, and how is it taxed in India?

Yes. Clarkson pays a dividend and the current yield is 2.21%; the last declared dividend was £0.68 per share, about ₹86.37. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. The UK levies 0% withholding tax on company dividends paid to non-residents. Paasa's dividend report lists the gross dividend and any tax withheld for each payment.

When can I trade Clarkson from India?

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

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

Shares in UK-incorporated companies are UK-situs assets and fall within UK Inheritance Tax, charged at 40% above the £325,000 threshold for non-residents. It applies to your overall holdings in that jurisdiction rather than to any one position.

Are there transaction taxes when buying Clarkson?

The UK charges 0.5% Stamp Duty Reserve Tax when buying direct company shares electronically on the LSE; ETFs and UCITS funds do not attract it. This is charged by the market, not by Paasa.

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

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

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