How much does one Sheng Siong share cost in rupees?

One Sheng Siong share is S$3.27 — about ₹245 at an SGD/INR rate of 75.05 on 28 Sep 2026. Both the Sheng Siong price and the rupee rate move during the day, so the rupee cost changes with them.

FX and the LRS declaration are handled by your bank when you fund your account.

How are gains on Sheng Siong 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 Sheng Siong price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.

Do I have to declare Sheng Siong 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 Sheng Siong holding, its cost and its closing value.

How do I sell Sheng Siong 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 Funds can be withdrawn in any currency to any bank account in your own name.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.
