Hi, you said now share are held in demat form. In whose name is that demat account, meaning the shares has already been transferred in the name of person holding demat account. However there is no tax in the hands of receipient of gift/shares, neither he/she shall be subjected to tax on further sale of such shares as these being a capital assets held for more than one year, being a long term asset eligible for exemption.
Thanks
