How am I taxed if I invest through GIFT City?
You own an Indian fund unit, not the US stock — so the harshest taxes simply don't reach you.
$0*
US estate tax — but only when the fund's underlying isn't US-domiciled (e.g. an Ireland UCITS)
For you — resident Indian
If you're a resident, your gains are still taxed in India like any global fund — but you skip the US estate-tax trap and the dividend drag is lighter.
What GIFT City removes
What to do
- 1
Pick an IFSC fund that's registered with IFSCA under the 2022 Fund Management Regulations.
- 2
If you're a non-resident, confirm the subscription is in foreign currency to keep the 10(4D) exemption.
- 3
If you're a resident, remember gains are still taxable in India — plan the holding period.
- 4
Use Valura's Net Returns tool to see the 10-year difference vs direct.
