The company, which was formerly known as K.K. Seikagaku Kenkyusho until its name change in 1962, operates through two primary segments: Pharmaceuticals and LAL. Its product portfolio encompasses a range of therapeutic and surgical solutions. For joint health, Seikagaku provides intra-articular injections like ARTZ, ARTZ Dispo, VISCO-3, and SUPARTZ FX, designed to enhance joint function.

Beyond finished products, Seikagaku is a supplier of bulk materials, specifically sodium hyaluronate and sodium chondroitin sulfate, which find application in various pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations. Furthermore, the company develops and markets specialized endotoxin-detecting reagents, including Pyrochrome, ENDOSPECY, and TOXICOLOR, which are crucial for quality assurance in injectable pharmaceuticals, biological products, medical devices, manufacturing operations, and dialysate water quality.

FAQs

Can Indian residents buy Seikagaku stock?

Yes. Seikagaku (4548) has been listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange since 2004, in the Medical - Devices 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 JPY. Shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers, segregated from Paasa's own assets.

How much does one Seikagaku share cost in rupees?

One Seikagaku share is ¥567.00 — about ₹348 at a JPY/INR rate of 0.6130 on 8 Oct 2026. Both the Seikagaku 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 Seikagaku 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.

What is the minimum I can buy of Seikagaku?

The Tokyo Stock Exchange typically trades in units of 100 shares.

How are gains on Seikagaku shares taxed in India?

Japan generally does not levy capital gains tax on non-resident individual investors, 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 JPY/INR rate on the purchase and the sale date, so the rupee move counts alongside the Seikagaku price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.

Does Seikagaku pay a dividend, and how is it taxed in India?

Yes. Seikagaku pays a dividend and the current yield is 4.41%; the last declared dividend was ¥30.00 per share, about ₹18.39. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Japan withholds a preferential 10% on dividends for Indian residents under the India–Japan DTAA rather than the higher domestic rate, and the tax withheld can be claimed as a foreign tax credit in India. Paasa's dividend report lists the gross dividend and any tax withheld for each payment.

When can I trade Seikagaku from India?

The Tokyo Stock Exchange trades 5:30 am – 12:00 pm IST in Indian time. It also halts for lunch, 8:00 am – 9:00 am IST. Orders can only execute during that window.

Is there estate or inheritance tax on Seikagaku shares held from India?

Japan levies inheritance tax on Japan-located assets such as direct stocks, with an exemption of ¥30 million plus ¥6 million per statutory heir. It applies to your overall holdings in that jurisdiction rather than to any one position.

Do I have to declare Seikagaku 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 Seikagaku holding, its cost and its closing value.

How do I sell Seikagaku and bring the money back to India?

You sell during market hours (5:30 am – 12:00 pm IST) and the proceeds settle in JPY 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.
