Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether transferring shares from an individual's demat account to a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) is treated as a taxable transfer under the Income Tax Act, 1961. The general consensus is that such a transfer is considered a gift to relatives, which is typically tax-free. However, there's a notable point that income generated from these shares might be clubbed with the individual's income under Section 64(2) of the Act.

No....
No it is not regarded as transfer because when you transfer shares to huf then it is treated as a gift and gift to relatives is not amount to transfer as per income tax act 1961.

As far as i read it it will attract section 64(2) of income tax act 1961. Want to confirm the same.
No....
Refer my answer caoffice
For a HUF( donee - receiver ), the member of the HUF being an Individual ( donor - giver ) is a relative for the purposes of Sec 56(2). So the gift is a taxfree transfer.

However, on a reading of Sec 64(2), it seems that income generated from the shares transferred would be clubbed In the hands of the individual.
Agreed with raj c doshi
Whenever we transfer the share through share transfer slip, it is mandatory to mention the reason of transfer without which it can not be transfered.
Reason could be gift, sale( in case of sale- selling price needs to be filled- preferred FMV should be filled). One can also share the payment mode details like neft no, cheque no.

These data must be shared with IT deptt by SEBI.

Now come to your question, demat transfer can be treated as transfer if u perform transaction just like transaction with outsider and share all the details on share transfer slip.
Agree with above comment

Hi Aakarsh ji just had one question

Recently I had transferred equity shares from an huf demat account to an individual demat account who is not a co parcener.

How to account for this transaction and what will be the tax liability?
