How much does one Jardine Matheson share cost in rupees?
One Jardine Matheson share is $62.50 — about ₹6,000 at a USD/INR rate of 96.00 on 30 Sep 2026. Both the Jardine Matheson price and the rupee rate move during the day, so the rupee cost changes with them.
What are the LRS and TCS rules for investing abroad 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.
How are gains on Jardine Matheson 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 USD/INR rate on the purchase and the sale date, so the rupee move counts alongside the Jardine Matheson price.

Is Jardine Matheson a United Kingdom company, and does that change how it is taxed?
Jardine Matheson trades on the London Stock Exchange in US dollars, but the company is domiciled in Bermuda. Jardine Matheson 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 Jardine Matheson?
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.

Yes. Foreign shares held on 31 March must be reported in Schedule FA of your Indian income-tax return. The holding is reported with its cost and its closing value.
Does the rupee rate affect what I make on Jardine Matheson?
Yes. Jardine Matheson is priced in USD, so your rupee outcome combines the USD move with the USD/INR move between the day you remit and the day you convert back.
