Indian investor context
What makes US IPOs attractive for Indians?
Access to companies (AI infrastructure, biotech, SaaS) with no Indian equivalent. US IPO first-day returns average +15-20% historically (though 2022 saw negative average). The real edge is long-term holding in USD with rupee depreciation tailwind.
The real cost
TCS reclaim takes 6-12 months (until ITR filing + refund). Forex conversion fees at bank (0.5-2%). Brokerage on US platform ($0 at Vested, $1-5 elsewhere). For IPO allotments, add platform fee. Total real cost on ₹5L investment: roughly ₹8,000-15,000 one-way.
Tax on exit
US capital gains: India taxes at 12.5% LTCG (after 24 months) or slab rate (under 24 months). US has no capital gains tax for non-resident investors. DTAA prevents double taxation. Use our USD returns calculator to model post-tax returns.
