Demat Account for HUF

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

An NRI family with an existing HUF Savings Account is enquiring about opening a new Demat account for their HUF. They wish to transfer their existing shareholdings from their personal NRI Demat accounts to this new HUF Demat account. The primary motivation is to segregate assets and exclude them from their Indian and US wills. However, it's noted that such transfers may not offer Capital Gains Tax advantages due to clubbing provisions.

01 October 2021 The reason being the transfer will not help in saving CG tax, whenever sold, because of clubbing provision.
