FAQs
Can Indian residents buy INFICON stock?
Yes. INFICON (IFCN) has been listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange since 2000, in the Hardware, Equipment & Parts 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 CHF.

How much does one INFICON share cost in rupees?
One INFICON share is CHF 183.60 — about ₹21,235 at a CHF/INR rate of 115.66 on 26 Sep 2026. Both the INFICON 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 INFICON 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 INFICON shares taxed in India?
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 CHF/INR rate on the purchase and the sale date, so the rupee move counts alongside the INFICON price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.
Does INFICON pay a dividend, and how is it taxed in India?
Yes. INFICON pays a dividend and the current yield is 1.09%; the last declared dividend was CHF 2.00 per share, about ₹231.31. 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 INFICON from India?
The SIX Swiss Exchange trades 12:30 pm – 9:00 pm IST in Indian time. The window shifts to 1:30 pm – 10:00 pm IST when Switzerland is on standard time. Orders can only execute during that window.
Do I have to declare INFICON 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 INFICON holding, its cost and its closing value.
How do I sell INFICON and bring the money back to India?
You sell during market hours (12:30 pm – 9:00 pm IST) and the proceeds settle in CHF 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 Funds can be withdrawn in any currency to any bank account in your own name.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.
Does the rupee rate affect what I make on INFICON?
Yes. INFICON is priced in CHF, so your rupee outcome combines the CHF move with the CHF/INR move between the day you remit and the day you convert back. Both directions are reflected in the capital-gains statement Paasa issues.
