07 June 2025 An individual likely to join a consulting company which do not allow employee and their family members to invest or trade in stock markets directly. Family members of the individual has investment in stocks and trade in stocks actively. What option is left for the family members of the individual to keep their investment in stocks and can trade in stocks. Please suggest the option to keep their investments and trading in stocks as per law and manageable manner. Partnership firm of family members or HUF ? In partnership firm, stocks can be kept in DMAT of partners account and trading account can be in the name of partnership firm. Please advice the way and option.
Thanks in anticipation.

08 June 2025 Thanks. Actually, the company provides consultancy to corporate world and probhit his employee and their family members to be active directly in stock market. Company allow only investment thro' mutual fund routes. Thus, the family can form a partnership firm and may continue their investment in the name of partners and may claim LTCG and STCG benefits.
