There are 3 partners A, B and C. They hold 900 equity shares in joint name in physical form. Now they wish to sell these shares. So, they transferred these shares in the name of A and Mrs. A, as they are having demat account in joint name. What will be the tax liability of A, B and C??? Mrs. A income is clubbed with Mr. A.

Transfer of shares in A's name( Mrs. A is a joint Demat A/c holder only with Mr A) by A,B & C has been done just for the sake of bringing the commodity at a place from where it could be sold.
A, B and C will be liable for tax. ( it can be said a case of diversion of income.)
As, practically,there is no income arises to Mrs C from such transfer, question of clubbing of income will not arise.
