Hi, Assume i wanted to open Minor account for my Sister/Brother Son using my Kite I’d as legal guardian possible?
Hi @Prabhumr
Yes, it is possible.
A legal guardian letter is required if the guardian is anyone other than the minor’s parent.
Given our taxation laws around adding the income to the parent’s income, I’ve always felt like having a separate account for kids (bank, stock trading, etc.) is more paperwork than its worth, especially at tax time.
I feel that giving kids some pocket money and letting them decide how to spend it and keep a ledger in a spreadsheet offered better financial literacy. My son “invests” his savings by giving it to his grandparents to put in an FD since they get better FD rates. Next step will be to “invest” into stocks for better gains, but probably in my account.
It’d be interesting to see how many Kids accounts actually end up being opened, if Zerodha wants to share that information.
