One Gildan Activewear share is $42.79 — about ₹4,110 at a USD/INR rate of 96.06 on 29 Sep 2026. Both the Gildan Activewear price and the rupee rate move during the day, so the rupee cost changes with them.

How are gains on Gildan Activewear 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 Gildan Activewear price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.
Does Gildan Activewear pay a dividend, and how is it taxed in India?
Yes. Gildan Activewear pays a dividend and the current yield is 2.27%; the last declared dividend was $0.97 per share, about ₹93.47. 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 Gildan Activewear 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 Gildan Activewear a United States company, and does that change how it is taxed?
Gildan Activewear trades on the New York Stock Exchange in US dollars, but the company is domiciled in Canada. Gildan Activewear trades as an ordinary share listed directly in the US, not a depositary receipt. 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 Gildan Activewear 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 Gildan Activewear holding, its cost and its closing value.
How do I sell Gildan Activewear 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 Funds can be withdrawn in any currency to any bank account in your own name.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.
