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 UPM-Kymmene 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.

Is UPM-Kymmene a Germany company, and does that change how it is taxed?
UPM-Kymmene trades on XETRA in EUR, but the company is domiciled in Finland. UPM-Kymmene trades as an ordinary share listed directly in Germany, not a depositary receipt. Your India-side capital-gains treatment is the same either way.
Do I have to declare UPM-Kymmene 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 UPM-Kymmene holding, its cost and its closing value.
How do I sell UPM-Kymmene and bring the money back to India?
You sell during market hours (12:30 pm – 9:00 pm IST) and the proceeds settle in EUR 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 Funds can be withdrawn in any currency to any bank account in your own name.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 UPM-Kymmene?
Yes. UPM-Kymmene is priced in EUR, so your rupee outcome combines the EUR move with the EUR/INR move between the day you remit and the day you convert back. Both directions are reflected in the capital-gains statement Paasa issues.
