I AM HOLDING MF INVESTMENTS IN MY SOLO DEMAT ACCOUNT. I WANT MY MARRIED DAUGHTER TO TO BE JOINT HOLDER OF MY INVESTMENTS IN MF. I PLAN TO OPEN A NEW DEMAT ACCOUNT, WHERE I AM FIRST HOLDER AND SHE IS A SECOND HOLDER, AND THAN TRANSFER MY MF INVESTMENTS HELD IN MY SOLO NAME TO JOINTLY HELD DEMAT ACCOUNT. WILL THESE TRANSFERS ATTRACT LONG TERM CAPITAL GAINS? MOST OF MY MF INVESTMENTS ARE ABOVE THREE YEARS OLD.
Ans: Transfer of shares from one d-mat to another will be considered as transfer of capital asset which is chargeable to tax as Income from Capital Gain. However, gift of asset to daughter is not a income in the hands of daughter. Thus, kindly check with broker for gifting shares from d-mat owned by you to Jointly hold d-mat account.

Relationships Expert, Mind Coach - Answered on May 30, 2023

Mam, my son has just completed his 12 class in commerce stream. His self confidence is low and in exams he failed to give his 100% and score low marks than his capability. His is also careless in studies. please guide how we can help him and how he can improve on this. We are very much disturbed due to this. Please help...
Ans: Dear Lakhbinder,
That age is a very confusing time for youngsters as they not only have to deal with the expectations of the school and parents but also 'fit in' with their peers.
It is natural to be defocused from academics and not do their best and I do understand your worry especially if he is aiming at a highly academic course after Class 12.

In my experience, working with youngsters, this is what I have understood:

Youngsters are not careless with their studies without reasons.
- They are doing a course which they were forced into or don't have an aptitude for
- They have immense pressure at home and school to perform
- They have been subject to a lot of comparison with those performing well in their class
- They have a lot of unwanted influences through chat apps and social media apps
- They are constantly monitored as to how much effort they are putting
- They are simply giving into their rebellious streaks given the age

It could be any of the above. Do identify and if there are things as a parent you can do, kindly step in NOT as a friend but by being more accepting and FRIENDLY. If it's about focus orientation, seek an expert who in one session will be able to help him through re-training the mind hacks which are simple to follow with amazing results.

All the best!
