FAQs
Can Indian residents buy Winking Studios stock?
Yes. Winking Studios (WKS) has been listed on the Singapore Exchange since 2023, in the Electronic Gaming & Multimedia 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 SGD. Shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers, segregated from Paasa's own assets.
How much does one Winking Studios share cost in rupees?
One Winking Studios share is S$0.23 — about ₹17 at an SGD/INR rate of 73.41 on 10 Nov 2026. Both the Winking Studios 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 Winking Studios 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 Winking Studios 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 Winking Studios price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.

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 Funds can be withdrawn in any currency to any bank account in your own name.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