St. Galler Kantonalbank AG

Yes. St. Galler Kantonalbank (SGKN) has been listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange since 2001, in the Banks - Regional 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. Shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers, segregated from Paasa's own assets.

One St. Galler Kantonalbank share is CHF 709.00 — about ₹82,220 at a CHF/INR rate of 115.97 on 24 Sep 2026. Both the St. Galler Kantonalbank price and the rupee rate move during the day, so the rupee cost changes with them.

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.

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 St. Galler Kantonalbank price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.
