Things to Know About a
HUF Demat Account


dcd

What is a HUF Demat Account?

A HUF Demat Account is a dematerialised securities account opened in the name of a Hindu Undivided Family. Unlike an individual demat, ownership rests with the family as a single tax entity, represented by its Karta. The account holds shares, ETFs, bonds and mutual funds electronically, eliminating paper certificates while unlocking separate tax slabs for family investments.

dcd

How Does a HUF Demat Account Work?

Think of it like a bank account for shares—but operated by the Karta on behalf of all co‑parceners. When the HUF buys securities, they’re credited to the family’s demat. Proceeds from sales are credited to the HUF’s linked bank account. Dhan, as your Depository Participant (DP) with CDSL, handles all electronic debits/credits, corporate actions and pledges, ensuring safe custody and seamless settlement.

Key Takeaway: Assets belong to the HUF-not the individual Karta-so future generations automatically inherit benefits without transfers or re‑registration.

Paperless Activation

Minors can open a Demat Account with the assistance of a guardian. The account is managed by the guardian until the minor reaches adulthood (18 years of age), ensuring their investments are handled responsibly.

tick

Invest Across All Segments

With a Demat account, you have the flexibility to invest across various market segments, including equities, mutual funds, bonds, and more. This versatility ensures that all your investments are consolidated in one place, providing a seamless and efficient investment experience.

tick

Easy Portfolio Management

A Demat account simplifies the management of your investment portfolio by allowing you to track and manage all your holdings in a single account. This consolidation helps in better monitoring of your investments and making informed financial decisions with ease.

tick

Corporate Benefits & Actions

A Demat account simplifies receiving corporate benefits such as dividends, interest, and bonuses. All corporate actions are updated automatically in your account, ensuring that you don't miss out on any benefits, making the process smooth and efficient.

tick

Quick Transfer of Shares

A Demat account ensures the quick and efficient transfer of shares. Transactions are executed electronically, significantly reducing the time needed for settlements and allowing you to manage your investments promptly and smoothly.

tick

Lower Risk of Fraud

Using a Demat account greatly lowers the risk of fraud and theft. The electronic format of holding securities eliminates the risks associated with physical certificates, ensuring the safety and security of your investments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions on your mind? Dont worry we have the answers!


A Hindu Undivided Family or HUF for short can open a demat account to trade & invest in the markets. HUFs are treated as one entity when it comes to taxation, among other financial benefits. This means that all the members of a family can enjoy tax benefits with the demat account for HUF while trading and investing in stocks.

A family that is registered as a HUF, that is, a family that consists of a linearly undivided Hindu family, can open a HUF demat account. The HUF has its own documents like a PAN card and the head of the family, the Karta, is often tasked with managing the HUF's finances.

Below is the list of documents required to open HUF Demat Account in India:

- HUF Pan Card
- Individual Pan Card of Karta
- Aadhar Card of Karta
- HUF Declaration
- Address Proof of HUF (Latest Bank Account Statement)
- 6 Months Bank Account Statement for F&O Activation

In case of any further queries, you can connect on our customer care number 9987761000 or email us at onboarding@dhan.co.

By opening a demat account for HUF, you and your family can unlock various benefits. The first and foremost benefit is the fact that the entire family registered as a HUF is treated as a single entity.
More HUF demat account benefits are as follows:

1. A HUF is treated as a single entity during taxation.
2. Individuals of the HUFs do not have to pay capital gains tax.
3. HUF taxation is similar to individual taxation in terms of tax slabs.

A HUF demat account on Dhan allows you to enter the markets, trade and invest in various financial instruments. Apart from tax benefits, the HUF account will give you access to Dhan's awesome features. Oh, and account opening is free!

For non-individual account holders, the DDPI process is offline and charges for the same are ₹500 + GST.
Yes, simply update the HUF deed and submit via support; no new account needed.
The HUF files a separate ITR; profits are taxed at slab rates applicable to HUFs, independent of members’ personal returns.
Absolutely. Use the same HUF DEMAT & bank account to apply online via UPI ASBA.
Submit succession affidavit & KYC of the new Karta. Account, holdings and history remain intact.
