\u2013 shares or mutual funds. You can gift shares, ETFs, and mutual-fund units in India without selling them. This can be done through an off-market demat transfer or a unit-transfer request to the fund\u2019s registrar.<\/p>\n<p>A genuine gift is not a sale. So the one who gives it away generally pays no capital-gains tax. Gifts from specified relatives are tax-free. However, non-relative gifts above \u20b950,000 in a financial year are taxable. With Diwali on 8 November 2026, there is still time to gift the right way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/course\/stock-market-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Learn Stock Marketing with a Share Trading Expert!

Gadgets get replaced. But a portfolio gift can keep compounding for years.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine gifting your child their first mutual-fund units on Diwali, or transferring a few shares to a sibling who has just started earning. It is not just a gift but also an invitation to learn investing, understand market ups and downs, and build financial discipline.<\/p>\n<p>The best part is that you do not have to sell your investments to give them away. A gift transfer moves ownership directly from your account to the recipient\u2019s account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Gift_Shares_and_Mutual_Funds_in_India\"><\/span><strong>Can You Gift Shares and Mutual Funds in India?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can gift listed shares, ETFs and mutual fund units, and the route depends on how you hold them. Shares and demat-form units move through an off-market transfer, while SoA units go through the fund&#8217;s registrar (RTA), such as CAMS or KFintech.<\/p>\n<p>Charges and limits vary by broker, depository participant (DP), fund house (AMC) and RTA. So, it is important that you confirm before you start.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Asset<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Usual route<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>What you need<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Listed shares and ETFs<\/td>\n<td>Off-market demat transfer<\/td>\n<td>Both demat accounts, DIS or e-DIS<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mutual fund units in demat form<\/td>\n<td>Off-market demat transfer<\/td>\n<td>Both demat accounts, DIS or e-DIS<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mutual fund units in SoA form<\/td>\n<td>Online request on the RTA portal or MF Central<\/td>\n<td>KYC-validated folios, PAN, OTP verification<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Gift_Shares_Step_by_Step\"><\/span><strong>How to Gift Shares, Step by Step<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Gifting shares takes six steps, and both of you need active demat accounts. Your broker or DP handles it as an off-market transfer, and many brokers offer it online. Most transfers show up in the recipient&#8217;s account within a day or two.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>1. Check your holdings.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Confirm that the shares are available in your demat account and are eligible for transfer.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>2. Collect recipient details.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>You will need the recipient\u2019s DP ID and client ID.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>3. Prepare a gift deed.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Mention the donor, recipient, security name, ISIN, number of shares, date, and a clear statement that no consideration is involved.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>4. Place an off-market instruction.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Submit a Delivery Instruction Slip (DIS) or e-DIS through your broker or DP and mark the transaction as a gift.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>5. Complete verification.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Your broker or DP may require OTP authentication or approval.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>6. Confirm receipt.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>After settlement, check that the shares appear in the recipient\u2019s demat account.<\/p>\n<p>A gift deed is highly recommended, especially for high-value transfers. It creates evidence that the transfer was genuinely gratuitous and not a disguised sale.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Gift_Mutual_Fund_Units\"><\/span><strong>How to Gift Mutual Fund Units<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Demat units transfer exactly like shares. SoA units can now move without conversion to demat, but the facility is deliberately narrow.\u00a0Here are the rules to be aware of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Eligible recipients:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Only father, mother, son, daughter or spouse of the unitholder.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Residency:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Resident-to-resident only. Transfers from a resident folio to an NRI folio are not permitted.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Minors and certain schemes:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Minors are not covered. ETFs and schemes with age or lock-in conditions, such as children&#8217;s and retirement funds, are excluded.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Process:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both folios must be KYC-validated, and you must verify with OTP. Locked-in or pledged units usually cannot be moved.<\/p>\n<p>For anyone outside that list, such as a sibling, dematerialise the units first and then use an off-market transfer.<\/p>\n<p>Another option is to invest fresh in their name. Avoid redeeming and gifting the cash if you can, because redemption is a sale and creates capital gains for you.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Program-in-Indian-Stock-Market-and-Forex-Trading-1-compressed.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Program-in-Indian-Stock-Market-and-Forex-Trading-1-compressed.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25556854\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><button class=\"btn btn-default\">free download Stock market course roadmap<\/button><\/p>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Gets_a_Tax-Free_Gift\"><\/span><strong>Who Gets a Tax-Free Gift?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Gifts of shares and fund units from a specified relative are tax-free for the recipient, whatever the value. The law lists &#8220;relatives&#8221; precisely, and many family members you might assume are covered under this, such as nephews, nieces and cousins, are actually not.<\/p>\n<p>Gifts are also exempt on the recipient&#8217;s own marriage, through a will or inheritance, or in contemplation of death.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Relationship<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Examples<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Spouse<\/td>\n<td>Husband or wife<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Lineal relatives<\/td>\n<td>Parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Siblings<\/td>\n<td>Brother, sister<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Parents&#8217; siblings<\/td>\n<td>Uncle, aunt<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Spouse&#8217;s family<\/td>\n<td>Spouse&#8217;s parents, grandparents and siblings<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Spouses of all the above<\/td>\n<td>Son-in-law, daughter-in-law and similar<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Not covered include cousins, nephews, nieces, friends and colleagues. If their gifts add up to more than \u20b950,000 in a financial year, the entire amount (not just the excess) is taxed at the recipient&#8217;s slab rate as Income from Other Sources. Shares and securities count as movable property for this rule.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tax_at_a_Glance\"><\/span><strong>Tax at a Glance<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Situation<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Giver&#8217;s tax<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Recipient&#8217;s tax<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Gift from a specified relative<\/td>\n<td>No capital gains at gifting<\/td>\n<td>None<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Gift from a non-relative<\/td>\n<td>No capital gains at gifting<\/td>\n<td>Taxable if the yearly total exceeds \u20b950,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Recipient later sells<\/td>\n<td>Not applicable<\/td>\n<td>Capital gains using the giver&#8217;s cost and holding period<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Clubbing_Catch\"><\/span><strong>The Clubbing Catch<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many festive gifting plans fail on this point. If you gift to your spouse or a minor child, the income from those assets, including dividends and capital gains, is clubbed with your income.<\/p>\n<p>A small exemption of \u20b91,500 per child applies for minors. Gifts to adult children, parents and siblings are not clubbed. This, in fact, makes them the cleanest option.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Happens_When_the_Recipient_Sells\"><\/span><strong>What Happens When the Recipient Sells?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The recipient does not get a fresh cost. They use your original purchase price, and your holding period carries over. For FY 2026-27, Budget 2026 left the equity capital gains framework unchanged:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Short-term gains on listed equity and equity-oriented funds are taxed at 20%<\/li>\n<li>Long-term gains (held more than 12 months) at 12.5% above \u20b91.25 lakh a year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Debt funds bought on or after 1 April 2023 are taxed at slab rates whatever the holding period.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Example:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>You bought shares for \u20b92 lakh in January 2024 and gift them to your adult daughter in November 2026, when they are worth \u20b93 lakh. She sells in December 2026 for \u20b93.2 lakh. Her gain is \u20b91.2 lakh (\u20b93.2 lakh minus your \u20b92 lakh cost).<\/p>\n<p>As the holding period counts from January 2024, it is long-term, and the gain sits within the \u20b91.25 lakh exemption, provided she has no other long-term equity gains that year.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Documents_and_Costs\"><\/span><strong>Documents and Costs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Keep these ready before you transfer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Signed gift deed (the deed does not move ownership; the depository or RTA process does)<\/li>\n<li>PAN and KYC details of both parties<\/li>\n<li>Demat or folio details, ISIN or scheme name, quantity and market value on the gift date<\/li>\n<li>DIS or e-DIS acknowledgement, or the RTA confirmation<\/li>\n<li>Your original purchase statements, so the recipient can compute gains later<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Off-market transfers between different PANs are reported to the tax department, so they can appear in the recipient&#8217;s Annual Information Statement.<\/p>\n<p>DP charges and, depending on the route, stamp duty may apply, so check your broker&#8217;s tariff first.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Mistakes_to_Avoid\"><\/span><strong>Common Mistakes to Avoid<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Treating a gift as a sale and computing capital gains for the giver.<\/li>\n<li>Gifting to a spouse or minor child and ignoring clubbing.<\/li>\n<li>Gifting to a friend or cousin without tracking the \u20b950,000 yearly limit.<\/li>\n<li>Assuming every fund and platform allows gifting.<\/li>\n<li>Confusing nomination with gifting.
