This query is : Resolved

Hi,
If a major person sells shares which were transferred off market from his fathers account without consideration within a year of transfer what is the cost of acquisition taken. Is it the COA when father purchased, market value on transfer or Nil.
As tax planning, is it advisable to transfer shares from fathers account or is it better to sell the holding and buy again in new account at current prices.
Will it make any difference if father is second holder in the new account to which the shares are to be transferred.
Please Suggest what to do.
