I guess I can open a trading & demat which is in the name of individual, partnership, private/public limited and HUF. My friend was telling that there are many advantages of opening as a HUF, he didn’t give me details, can anyone help?
Also, are the documents required to open the account same as individual? If not, what are the documents required?
HUF is Hindu Undivided Family. All the family members are part of it and the head(usually husband/father) is the Karta. It is additional entity that can help to save taxes. From taxation perspective it is taxed similar to individual except that PPF cannot be opened in HUF name.
As such there is no advantage of opening HUF trading account over individual.
Main benefit of opening trading account in HUF is saving taxes. Say suppose both the husband and wife already have taxable income, then they can create trade in HUF and earn additional 2 lac tax free income as per current IT slabs.
There are additional documents required to open trading/demat account which broker will inform you.
