Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.

Yes. Wheaton Precious Metals (WPM) has been listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 2005, in the Gold 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. Shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers LLC and are SIPC-insured up to $500,000 in total, including $250,000 for cash.

One Wheaton Precious Metals share is $135.17 — about ₹12,984 at a USD/INR rate of 96.06 on 29 Sep 2026. Both the Wheaton Precious Metals 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.

Yes. A whole Wheaton Precious Metals share is $135.17, but there is no minimum trade size: you enter a rupee or dollar amount and receive the matching fraction.

The US does not levy capital gains tax on shares for Indian residents, 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 Wheaton Precious Metals price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.

Yes. Wheaton Precious Metals pays a dividend and the current yield is 0.55%; the last declared dividend was $0.75 per share, about ₹72.05. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Paasa's dividend report lists the gross dividend and any tax withheld for each payment.

The New York Stock Exchange trades 7:00 pm – 1:30 am IST in Indian time, so the close lands after midnight. The window shifts to 8:00 pm – 2:30 am IST when the US is on standard time. Orders can only execute during that window.

Wheaton Precious Metals trades on the New York Stock Exchange in US dollars, but the company is domiciled in Canada. Wheaton Precious Metals trades as an ordinary share listed directly in the US, not a depositary receipt. Some non-US companies list in the US through American Depositary Receipts, which can carry dividend withholding at the company's home-country rate. Your India-side capital-gains treatment is the same either way.

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 Wheaton Precious Metals holding, its cost and its closing value.

You sell during market hours (7:00 pm – 1:30 am IST) and the proceeds settle in USD 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.
