FAQs
Can Indian residents buy Bank of China stock?
Yes. Bank of China (HBND) has been listed on the Singapore Exchange since 2024, in the Banks - Diversified 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 SGD. Shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers, segregated from Paasa's own assets.
How much does one Bank of China share cost in rupees?
One Bank of China share is S$0.99 — about ₹74 at an SGD/INR rate of 75.05 on 29 Sep 2026. Both the Bank of China 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 China 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 China shares taxed in India?
Singapore does not levy capital gains tax on the sale of shares, ETFs or REITs, 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 SGD/INR rate on the purchase and the sale date, so the rupee move counts alongside the Bank of China price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.
Does Bank of China pay a dividend, and how is it taxed in India?
Yes. Bank of China pays a dividend and the current yield is 3.36%; the last declared dividend was S$0.04 per share, about ₹2.80. 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 China from India?
The Singapore Exchange trades 6:30 am – 2:30 pm IST in Indian time. Orders can only execute during that window.
Is Bank of China a Singapore company, and does that change how it is taxed?
Bank of China trades on the Singapore Exchange in SGD, but the company is domiciled in China. Bank of China trades as an ordinary share listed directly in Singapore, not a depositary receipt. Your India-side capital-gains treatment is the same either way.
Are there transaction taxes when buying Bank of China?
Singapore levies no stamp duty or transaction tax on listed equities.
Do I have to declare Bank of China 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 China holding, its cost and its closing value.
How do I sell Bank of China and bring the money back to India?
You sell during market hours (6:30 am – 2:30 pm IST) and the proceeds settle in SGD 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.
