Do Indian residents receive dividends on their US stocks?
Yes, Indian residents do receive dividends on their US stocks and the same is credited to their US stocks wallet for free. Let’s understand this with an example. Let’s say Apple has announced a dividend of $1 per share and you hold 0.5 shares (half a share of Apple). That means you are entitled to a dividend of $0.5 per share. But remember, these dividends are subject to a withholding tax (up to 25%) in the US. You can claim a foreign tax credit of this withheld amount in India in your annual tax filing. Therefore, based on this example, you will receive a dividend of only $0.375 per share in your US Stocks wallet, and the balance will be available to you as a foreign tax credit at the end of the financial year. You can use these dividends to buy more US stocks or you can even withdraw this money back to your Indian savings account.
What is the taxation on the sale of US stocks by Indians?
When Indian residents sell US stocks, the taxation works as follows: Short-term Capital Gains (STCG): If you sell the stocks within 24 months of purchase, any profits are considered short-term capital gains. These gains are taxed according to your income tax slab in India. Long-term Capital Gains (LTCG): If you sell the stocks after holding them for more than 24 months, the profits are treated as long-term capital gains. These gains are taxed at a rate of 12.5% without indexation.

Such a brilliant platform!!
This financial consolidation tool is amazing, with many impressive features. I've been using it for over a year and enjoy the ongoing updates. Originally a typical investment platform, it has since evolved into a full financial tracker. I recommend using a manual personal financial tracker to create a complete balance sheet for individuals and families. It is suitable for both Indian and US stock investments, including direct Mutual Fund investments.
