Dear Sir/Madam,

I want to transfer/gift some shares from my Demat A/C to my son's Demat A/C. Is any Income Tax is to be paid in this case.

If yes, who has to pay the Tax (myself or my son) & how to calculate the value of tax if I mention the value of consideration 0. Is it OK if mention the value of consideration 0?

Thanking you. Best regards, RAKESH
