• The sender can cancel the transaction anytime before the stocks are transferred. To learn more about the gifting process, see How to gift securities?
• For tracking and reporting purposes, the stock's closing price on the day the stock gets transferred is the exit price for the person gifting the stock, and the same price is used as an entry price for the person receiving the gift. The average price is updated within 3 working days after the stocks are transferred. While filing for income tax, a different view can be taken on the acquisition price.
