As we know HUF (Hindu Undivided Family) is assessed as a separate person under provisions of Income Tax Act, 1961. It has its own identity and right to own property but not a juristic person. It can sue and be sued as a person. It is governed by Karta of the family and consists of coparceners of a single family.
A Hindu Undivided Family can be created by following ways: 1. Blending of individual property with the family Hotchpot 2. Receipts of Gifts 3. Doing Joint labour for the benefit of HUF 4. Inheritance through a specific bequest under a Will 5. Partition of a larger Hindu Undivided Family 6. Reunion of separated coparceners
Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) ♠ Hindu Undivided Family (‘HUF’) is treated as a ‘person’ under section 2(31) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (Act). HUF is a separate entity for the purpose of assessment under the Act. ♠ Under Hindu Law, an HUF is a family which consists of all persons lineally descended from a common […]
Partition is the severance of the status of Joint Hindu Family, known as Hindu Undivided Family under tax laws.Under Hindu Law once the status of Hindu Family is put to an end, there is notional division of properties among the members and the joint ownership of property comes to an end.

1. Under the Income Tax Act, an HUF is a separate entity for the purpose of income tax return. 2. The same tax slabs are applicable to HUF as to individual assessee. 3. You can not transfer your own assets/money into HUF. 4. If you have ancestral property and earning some income from this property, then it is better to transfer this asset to HUF and save tax up to exemption limit applicable to individual.
The issue raised by the assessee that the HUF was not in existence when the assessment proceedings have been conducted and the Assessment Order has been passed on HUF and therefore, the entire proceedings are rendered null and void and it should be held that the Assessment Order is bad in law on the facts and circumstances of the present case.
If you have receipts of house rent allowance and if you are paying rent, exemption u/s 10(13A) will be available. Section 24, which allows a deduction in respect of interest on capital borrowed for purchase/construction of a house property, permits this deduction for the interest that relates to the previous year in which the property is acquired or constructed.
Now, a new section 194M has been inserted whereby Individuals/HUFs (not covered under section 194C, 194H & 194J) shall deduct TDS @5% at the time of payment or credit in the books to any resident for:
The Income Tax Act 1961 provides that a HUF (Hindu Undivided Family) is separate unit like an individual and is too assessed accordingly. A HUF is eligible for those exemptions that are available to a resident Indian who is not a senior citizen. It can own property and also have its own business.
