Yes, you can transfer mutual funds as per the aprroved list of securities link.
It can be transferred through the gift stocks process you can check: How to gift securities?
What are the tax implications ?
The recipient is liable to be taxed for gifts of market value of more than ₹50,000. Income from such gifts should be reported under the head Income from Other Sources in the Income Tax Return, and tax at slab rates should be paid.

Is it the same for father to son gift transactions?
Ofcourse 
Even from father-in-law, its exempt
FYI, the list of who all qualifies as a “relative” for this purpose
appears to be defined in Clause 2.vi of Section 56 of the Income Tax Act.
