How to invest in Swiss Re from India
Step 1
Open your Paasa account
KYC takes a few minutes: PAN, Aadhaar and address proof. Your brokerage account is opened in your own name with Interactive Brokers.
Step 2
Add funds from your Indian bank account
Remit up to $250,000 a year under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme. Your bank converts the rupees to US dollars at its rate on the day you remit, and Interactive Brokers converts the dollars to CHF when you buy.
Step 3
Search SREN and buy
Find Swiss Re by name or by its ticker, SREN, and place your order.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy Swiss Re stock from India?
Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Swiss Re (SREN) shares directly through Paasa. Swiss Re is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange, in the Insurance - Reinsurance industry. Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.
What tax do I pay in India when I sell Swiss Re shares?
In India, gains on shares held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5%, and gains on shares held for 24 months or less are short-term and taxed at your income-tax slab rate. Both are worked out in rupees at the CHF/INR rate on the day you bought and the day you sold, so the currency move is part of the gain. Paasa's capital-gains statement gives you the figures for your return.
