Calculation of Capital Gain on foreign shares


This query is : Resolved 

05 August 2016 Hello, My query is that if a person (indian resident) holds shares of Google Inc, USA (transactions: sale/purchase will be in USD only). So how to calculate capital gain on this. According to my knowledge, treatment is as below, eg: Purchase price = USD 200 sale price = USD 250 Cap gain = USD 50 × Exchange rate as on date on sale(Suppose Rs. 60 per USD) = Rs. 3000 If we receive Rs. 3243 in bank account, I think to consider the balance i.e. Rs. 243 as forex gain. (can be loss too) Please confirm whether I am right, or any other treatment should be there.

05 August 2016 In my view this situation is not provided in the Income Tax Law. As per FEMA, a Resident cannot subscribe the shares of a foreign company except for ADR or GDR or some other foreign currency bonds as permitted.
