This query is : Resolved
28 October 2012
Hi,
My uncle (father's own brother) wants to gift property to my late father's HUF (my elder brother is the karta of this HUF). My mother is also a member of this HUF.
Is this possible?
Is there any gift tax or any other tax that my uncle or the HUF will be liable for?
If there is rental income arising from this gifted property, does it get taxed to individual (uncle) or to the HUF?
Requesting your expert opinion at the earliest.

In the scenario you've described, where your uncle (A) wants to gift property to the HUF of his deceased brother (B), where the Karta (head) of the HUF is the son (C) of deceased brother B, here are the considerations:
1. **Possibility of Gifting to HUF**:
- Yes, it is possible for your uncle (A) to gift property to the HUF of his deceased brother (B), where the Karta is your elder brother (C). Under the Hindu Succession Act and Income Tax Act, a person can gift property to an HUF.
2. **Tax Implications for the Donor (Uncle A)**:
- **Gift Tax**: In India, there is no gift tax applicable on gifts made by individuals to HUFs. Therefore, your uncle A would not be liable to pay any gift tax on the transfer of property to the HUF.
- **Income Tax**: Since the gift is to an HUF, and assuming the property is transferred without any consideration, there should be no income tax implications for your uncle A.
3. **Tax Implications for the HUF**:
- **Ownership and Income Tax**: Once the property is gifted to the HUF, it becomes an asset of the HUF. Any rental income or other income generated from this property would be considered as income of the HUF.
- **Taxation of Rental Income**: The rental income earned by the property will be taxed in the hands of the HUF. The HUF will have to file its income tax return and declare the rental income. The income tax rate applicable to HUFs would apply to such rental income.
4. **Documentation and Compliance**:
- Ensure that proper documentation, such as a gift deed, is executed for the transfer of property from uncle A to the HUF.
- The HUF should maintain proper records and accounting of the rental income and any other income arising from the gifted property.
5. **Legal and Tax Advisory**:
- It is advisable to consult with a qualified tax advisor or chartered accountant to ensure compliance with all legal and tax requirements related to the gift of property to an HUF.
- They can provide specific guidance based on the nature of the property, local laws, and individual circumstances involved.
In summary, the gift of property from your uncle A to the HUF of his deceased brother B, where your elder brother C is the Karta, is legally permissible. There are generally no gift tax implications for the donor (uncle A) in India for gifts to HUFs, and any rental income from the gifted property would be taxable in the hands of the HUF. For precise advice tailored to your situation, consulting a tax professional is recommended.
