22 October 2008 Hi all,
My family has 6 demat accounts and all accounts have certain shares,which we held as investments. We have another demat account in the name of our HUF. So can we transfer all the shares of 6 demat accounts to our HUF account? If yes, what will be the transfer price in the books of accounts and cost of the shares in the book of HUF?
We are planning to trade in eqities in the name of HUF. What will be tax impact?

Thanks in advance.

23 October 2008 The transfer of shares from individual to HUF without adequate consideration will not make the shares as HUF property as far as Income tax Act is concerned. The income will be continued to be assessed as Individual only.
