About
Imaging Biometrics Ltd., founded in 1965 and headquartered in Saint Helier, Jersey, specializes in medical imaging diagnostics and clinical patient care. The company extends its services across the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the European Union, and the United States. Its operations are structured into three main segments: a Holding Company, Medical Software, and Oral Gallium Maltolate (GaM). The Medical Software division develops a comprehensive suite of ready-to-use software applications for the healthcare sector. This portfolio includes IB Clinic, which serves as the foundational platform for all IB software; IB Neuro, a specialized platform for MR DSC perfusion processing; and IB Delta Suite, designed to generate Delta T1 maps from routine MR examinations. Further offerings comprise IB DCE and IB Diffusion, both providing in-depth insights into blood flow and water diffusion throughout the body. For non-invasive assessments, the company provides StoneChecker and Liver Surface Nodularity, which are computed tomography (CT) processing tools that assist clinicians in evaluating kidney stones and liver health. Additional software includes IB ASL, used to measure cerebral blood flow for diagnosing conditions like stroke and dementia, and IB Zero G, an innovative technology that eliminates the need for gadolinium contrast agents in standard imaging. The suite also features IB Nimble, facilitating virtual collaboration among healthcare professionals. Beyond software, the company's Oral Gallium Maltolate (GaM) segment is actively pursuing the development of IB003, a gallium maltolate drug candidate currently in Phase 1 clinical trials for treating glioblastoma. Imaging Biometrics Ltd. also offers consulting services. The entity, which was previously known as IQ-AI Limited, is slated to adopt the name Imaging Biometrics Ltd. in May 2025.

FAQs
Can Indian residents buy Imaging Biometrics stock?
Yes. Imaging Biometrics (IBAI) has been listed on the London Stock Exchange since 1993, in the Medical - Healthcare Information 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 and then to GBP. Shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers, segregated from Paasa's own assets.
How much does one Imaging Biometrics share cost in rupees?
One Imaging Biometrics share is £0.01 — about ₹1 at a GBP/INR rate of 127.06 on 29 Sep 2026. Both the Imaging Biometrics 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 Imaging Biometrics 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 Imaging Biometrics 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 Imaging Biometrics price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.
Does Imaging Biometrics pay a dividend?
No. Imaging Biometrics does not currently pay a dividend, so holding it produces no dividend income to declare in India. If it starts paying one, the Indian treatment is the usual one — dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India — and Paasa's dividend report would show the gross amount and any tax withheld.
When can I trade Imaging Biometrics 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 Imaging Biometrics a United Kingdom company, and does that change how it is taxed?
Imaging Biometrics trades on the London Stock Exchange in GBP, but the company is domiciled in Jersey. Imaging Biometrics trades as an ordinary share listed directly in the UK, not a depositary receipt. Your India-side capital-gains treatment is the same either way.
Are there transaction taxes when buying Imaging Biometrics?
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 Imaging Biometrics 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 Imaging Biometrics holding, its cost and its closing value.
How do I sell Imaging Biometrics 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.
