Taxation
How is tax calculated on US stocks inward remittances, i.e. sells and dividends?

There is a minimum GST of ₹45 applicable for any inward remittance. You can see the details of the tax charges on the order details page. 

In India, there is a GST applicable on forex conversion. Whenever you receive money from Alpaca Securities Inc., our American broker, in US Dollar, this amount is converted into Indian Rupees and credited to your Federal Bank Savings Account on Fi. 

Even if you’re receiving an inward remittance of ₹45 or less (which might happen in case of dividends), the tax will be applicable and deducted from your account. You can read more about the GST slab rates here.
