While hearing the case of Subodh Gupta vs Commissioner of Income Tax (CIT), Delhi bench of Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) recently held that gift received by Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) from the mother of Karta would attract Income Tax.

KARTA OF HUF The Karta is the manager of HUF and have wide powers by way of controlling the affairs of the HUF. The Karta enjoys his position in the HUF by operation of law without any agreement and consent of other members of HUF. He stands in a fiduciary relationship with other members, but […]
