Hi…
I like to transfer some holdings to my brother’s daughter Demat account from my NSDL ( Stock Holding Corporation of India Ltd.,) demat account.
Found two similar options under reason for transfer - Gift and Transfer between specified family members (self and spouse linear ascendants/descendants ).
Can anyone please enlighten about income tax implication on "Gifting" and “Transfer between specified family members”
Regards,

For a transfer to your niece, either code is functionally acceptable for the transfer process. Using "Transfer between specified family members" is technically more descripttive for your records. Ensure you keep a signed Gift Deed and documentation of your original purchase price for her future tax filings.
