Income tax in stock trading.

Hi Experts,

If trade in stock markets with my entire capital then I have to pay 30 percent tax. Instead i will split the capital into 3 accounts and transfer to my relatives so that the profit earned from each account will fall in less than 5 Lakh tax bracket(first slab) and hence no tax will be levied.

Is this method legal or illegal ?

Regards

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the legality of splitting stock trading capital among relatives to keep profits within the lower tax bracket and avoid income tax. Experts clarify that this method is considered illegal tax evasion, not legitimate tax planning. They suggest legal alternatives like investing in tax-exempt instruments or in the names of parents or adult children to save tax.

Illegal.......

On what basis it is Illegal ?

You want to say you don't want to invest in stock market instead you want to split your income in your family to save tax is it sir
then you can gift or transfer whatever you want but out of post tax income
to save tax
you can invest the money into tax exempt or low tax instruments
or you can invest money on your parents name
or you can invest money on major children names in this way you can save tax legally
Tax evasion is different from tax planning... yours is tax evasion... moreover clubbing provisions will apply in your case and eventually it'll be taxable in your hands only
Agree with Mr. Rama Krishnan Ji
