About
Encompass Health Corporation delivers a range of post-acute healthcare services across the United States, offered both in dedicated facilities and directly within patients' homes. The company's operations are divided into two primary divisions: Inpatient Rehabilitation, and Home Health and Hospice.

Within this segment, home health services encompass a variety of Medicare-certified care options for adult patients, including skilled nursing, medical social work, home health aide assistance, and various therapies like physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Hospice services, on the other hand, provide in-home comfort and support for terminally ill patients and their families. As of June 1, 2022, Encompass Health maintained a substantial network, managing 149 hospitals, 252 home health locations, and 99 hospice locations spread across 42 U.S. states and Puerto Rico.

How are gains on Encompass Health 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 Encompass Health price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.

Yes. Encompass Health pays a dividend and the current yield is 0.62%; the last declared dividend was $0.76 per share, about ₹72.87. 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 Encompass Health 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 there estate or inheritance tax on Encompass Health 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 Encompass Health 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 Encompass Health holding, its cost and its closing value.
How do I sell Encompass Health 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.
