As wealth grows in India, so does appetite for global diversification — and Europe, with its stable institutions and deep markets, is an increasingly popular destination.

Routes into European assets

Indian residents can invest abroad under the Reserve Bank of India’s Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), which allows remittances up to a yearly limit. Popular options include European-listed ETFs, blue-chip shares and, for some, residential or commercial property.

Mind the tax

Double-taxation treaties between India and most European countries prevent investors from being taxed twice, but reporting obligations are strict. Professional advice is essential before committing serious capital.

Diversification across geographies is no longer a luxury for Indian investors — it’s prudent planning.

Currency risk, local regulations and estate-planning rules all vary widely across the continent, so a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works.
