Eligibility Criteria For Opening An HUF Demat Account
Before opening a Demat account for HUF, do check the eligibility criteria first.
The account can be opened in the name of a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF).
A Karta (head of family) must represent the HUF.
The HUF should have a valid PAN card and bank account in its name.
Members must be part of the same family line (as per Hindu Law).
(Note: In the absence of a male member, a female member can become Karta. But, again, its tax aspects may vary.)
FAQs
What is an HUF Demat Account?
A Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) is a joint Hindu family registered as a separate entity that comes under the Income Tax Act. This entity is usually created for tax purposes in India, inclusive of Buddhist, Sikh, and Jain families. With HUFs, you can own property, earn income, and claim tax benefits to reduce the overall tax liabilities. At Anand Rathi, we bring in the HUF Demat Account facility for such families. You can open your Hindu undivided family account and start investing!"
How can I trade HUF?
Just like any trading account, the Karta can buy, sell, or hold shares and other securities using the HUF Demat account here.
Can HUF invest in Mutual Funds?
Yes, for sure, HUFs can use their Hindu Undivided Family account to invest in Mutual funds . However, it will occur under the HUF's name, and the returns will be credited to the HUF account, not to the individual members.
What is a HUF deed?
A HUF deed is a legal document that officially creates a Hindu Undivided Family. It defines the Karta and the coparceners (family members) and is crucial for opening a Demat account for HUF.
Can we convert an existing individual Demat account into a HUF Demat account?
No, individual accounts cannot be directly converted. Only when the family is registered as a Hindu Undivided Family is it possible. You need to open a new HUF Demat account with the family's HUF PAN and HUF deed.
Which financial products can HUFs invest in?
HUFs can invest in the following financial instruments:
- Stocks and equities
- Mutual funds
- Bonds and government securities
- ETFs and other market instruments
How to transfer securities between my individual and HUF Demat accounts?
You can transfer securities between your individual and HUF Demat Accounts in two ways: Online and Offline.
- Online Transfer:
- Visit the CDSL or NSDL website.
- Sign up for either the 'Easiest' or 'Speed-e' facility.
- Fill in the details and submit the copy to your DP.
- With verification, you will receive your login details.
- After logging in, you can transfer the stocks.
- Offline: It involves getting a physical Delivery Instruction Slip (DIS) from your stockbroker
- Fill in the DIS form with the ISIN (International Securities Identification Number), Target client ID, and select the off-market transfer mode.
- Submit the filled DIS form to your DP to enable the transfer.
- Submit the filled DIS form to your DP.
- Once it is complete, you will receive your securities within 3-5 business days.
Who can be the members of HUF?
Usually, members of the same Hindu family line can become members of HUF anyway. With this, the Karta (head of the family) gets to manage the demat account. In contrast, the Coparceners are family members eligible to have a share in the HUF's property.
Things to Know About a HUF Demat Account
While we have explained the major features of the HUF demat account, it is also essential to be aware of these unknown rules.
- Only one HUF account can be opened per family.
- The Karta manages the account, but all coparceners are entitled to HUF assets.
- HUFs can be either resident or non-resident HUFs.
- Under the new tax regime, HUFs can avail a tax exemption of ₹4 lakh (earlier ₹2.5 lakh).
Difference between HUF and a normal demat account
A key difference between a HUF and a normal demat account lies in account management. In a demat account for HUF, there is a Karta present to manage everyone's (coparceners) assets and investments.
In the case of a normal demat account, you manage your investments directly. There is no separate account manager to handle them on your behalf.
Can we add more coparceners later?
Yes, you can add coparceners later on by submitting a request (to support) and updating the HUF deed.
Advantages of an HUF Demat Account
With a Hindu Undivided Family account, you can combine family investments under one account. This HUF, as a separate entity, provides a tax-efficient way to invest with minimal tax liabilities. Here are the benefits:
