Bhai Dooj 2026: How to Gift Gold ETFs and Understand Tax Rules for Sibling Presents
With Bhai Dooj on November 11, gifting gold ETFs to siblings offers an alternative to traditional gold presents, involving off-market transfers between demat accounts. Unlike mutual funds, gold ETFs trade on stock exchanges with real-time price fluctuations. Gifts from brothers, including cash and gold, are exempt from income tax regardless of value, but must be disclosed in income tax returns. Gifts from non-relatives, such as cousins, may attract tax, highlighting the importance of understanding tax rules for festival gifts.
