CONSEQUANCES OF TRANSFER DEMATE FROM ONE BANK TO ANOTHER

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

If your Demat account has been transferred due to a bank migration, such as Citi to Axis, your holding period for shares should remain unchanged. This means shares purchased long ago will still be considered Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG), even if the bank or broker's system incorrectly flags them as Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG) after the migration. You should be able to correct this by referencing your original purchase dates when reporting your capital gains.

22 August 2024 No. It will be LT holding only, as you have not sold the shares. It is just the change of IFSC code of the same Demat account.

22 August 2024 At the time of sale of these securities, the broker will report it as CG, which you can accept or file feedback, based on your records.
