@Bharti_Vasvani Can you help here?

Hello @jaydalwadi,

When shares are gifted to relatives as per the income tax act, the date and cost of acquisition are taken of the original owner of such securities. In this case, it is as good as shares were never transferred by you. Hence you can report the capital gains by classifying them as long-term gains (as they are held for more than 12 months) and the purchase price paid by you as the acquisition cost.

Hope this helps!

Hi, on the same thread, one of my friend has transferred me his shares worth 10 lakhs as a collateral for the money that i have lend him. After few years he gives back my money to me and I transfer back all his shares.
what is the tax liability for me in this whole transaction? please note that i have not sold any shares in my account.

Hello @pranav900,

In this case, since no shares were sold by you, you have not realised any gains on the loan given as collateral. So there is no taxable capital gain in this transaction.

However, if you have received any interest on such a loan then it shall be taxable as Income from Other Sources.

Hope this helps!

Thanks @Bharti_Vasvani for your reply!
As per mentioned in this link, Is there any income tax implications on gifting of shares?, **the receiver is liable to pay tax on receiving (even if he does not sell the shares) and the same will come in his tax slab as tax on other income sources. **
Can you please let me know if I will be liable to pay this tax?
Thanks

Hey @pranav900,

When shares are gifted to a friend without adequate consideration of value> 50K then it is taxed, whereas in your case you have not received these shares as gift, they are just collateral for the loan.

Hope this clarifies.

Hi,
I have brought 35 shares for Rs.900 each
Now the stock price went to Rs.700 each
I gifted those 35 shares to my brother(blood relation)
hence I gave him when the holding was going at ₹200 loss.
can I show this loss in ITR ?

@Bharti_Vasvani if you can help here

Hello @P_M,

No, you won’t be able to report this loss in your ITR since you have gifted these shares to a relative for no adequate consideration.
