A HUF is not a legal heir under the Hindu Succession Act, and hence it cannot inherit any property. Hence the property of the deceased woman will pass on only to her legal heirs as enumerated in the Hindu Succession Act.
Any transfer of property by a member to his / her HUF will attract the provisions of section 64 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and the income arising from such transferred asset will be clubbed in the hands of the transferor.
