Investing fathers retirement money in my Demat account

Hi all,
Is is it possible/allowed to invest(20%) of retirement money received by my father under my demat account.Any pointers would be really helpful.

PS:My father is not intending to open an demat/trading account,but wants to explore investing in MF through family members account.

To invest in MF you don’t really nead a demat/trading account.

True… we dont need demat to invest in MF,but my question is can we invest fathers money against our PAN/name and if so will we face any scrutiny by I.T dept. ??

No tax will be there

Make sure u file returns next year

That’s it

You’ll have to pay taxes in ur returns against any profits that may be made (if your profits are short term)
