Ways To Invest In Oracle Stock

Indian investors can either buy Oracle shares directly or gain exposure through investment funds. 

Direct Investment

Buying Oracle shares makes you a direct shareholder in the company. With Vested, you can invest in US-listed stocks and buy Oracle shares from India. Vested also offers fractional investing, so you can buy a portion of a share. Investors choose this option when the price of a share is beyond their preferred investment amount.

Indirect Investment

Another way to invest is through investment funds. There are several global funds and Exchange-Traded Funds with Oracle in their portfolios. You do not become Oracle’s direct shareholder through this route, but these funds offer other benefits such as professional investment management. They also help with diversification, as your investment is spread across multiple companies.

Can Indians Invest In Oracle Stock?

Yes, they can buy and sell Oracle stock from India. The Reserve Bank of India introduced a scheme called the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) in 2004. The scheme currently allows Indians to transfer up to US$250,000 in a financial year freely. Investing in US-listed stocks is also monitored by this scheme, and Indian investors can invest up to the prescribed limit.

Investors often carry out the process through global investment platforms like Vested. Such platforms convert your funds into USD, after which you can invest in Oracle stock from India.

5 Things To Know Before Investing In Oracle Stock

Before buying Oracle shares, keep these points in mind.

• Both the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) govern these transactions. The permissible limit of US$250,000 is for all overseas transactions and not for stock market investing alone. So, if you participate in some other foreign transaction, your permissible limit comes down to that extent.
• Capital gains tax rates depend on the holding period. For holdings under 2 years, you will be taxed as per your income tax slab rate. A tax rate of 12.5% is applicable if your gains come from holdings held for more than 2 years.
• The US generally withholds 25% tax on dividends paid to eligible Indian investors. You may be able to claim relief under the India-US Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) by filing Form 67, subject to eligibility.
• Tax Collected at Source (TCS) may apply for investments crossing ₹10 lakh under LRS in a financial year. You can usually adjust this while filing your income tax returns.
• Disclose all your foreign investments. So, if you buy shares of Oracle, you must report them under Schedule FA and Schedule AL, if applicable, while filing income tax returns.

Conclusion

Oracle has become one of the companies closely associated with the growth of cloud computing. Investing in Oracle from India has also become easier. If you plan to invest, spend some time understanding the business and invest only after it aligns with your financial objectives.
