I have taken a loan from my mother and invested the proceeds in shares and also did future and options business from that money...I am not paying any interest to my mother for the loan amt...is it ok to include gains or losses from shares in my tax return and not my mothers?
As per section 61 of IT Act, 1961- All income arising to any person by virtue of a revocable transfer of assets shall be chargeable to income-tax as the income of the transferor and shall be included in his total income.
Hence, if the amount you received from your mother, is revocable then it wil be taxable in her hands. Otherwise, take the amount as gift from her and invest it in the business then it will be taxable in your hands. thanks.

For that professional fees can be paid but income will be taxable only in the hands of the person who has invested the money. Obviously, if you pay the interest then it will be taxble in your hands only.
