I do not have a fathers HUF but had ceated a huf of son by getting its pan no. The Rental Income from a joint property in the name of father and karta has been assessed to Income Tax under Asstt yr 2009-2010.
The Property was purchased in the joint name before huf creation and still no transfer of prperty has been made to huf. In earlier years (up to Asstt yr 2008-09) the Rental income generating out of that property was assessed to the individual member along with his busniess and Salary Income.
I want to know whether everything has done correct. and if there is any anamoly whats the correct way and how to things ahs to set right.

Based on your situation, let’s break down the issues and suggest how to address any anomalies:
### **1. Property Ownership and Rental Income**
**Current Situation:**
- **Property Ownership:** The property is jointly owned by the father and the Karta, and it was acquired before the creation of the HUF.
- **Rental Income Assessment:** Rental income from this property was assessed under the individual’s name up to the Assessment Year (AY) 2008-09. Since the creation of the HUF, rental income has been assessed under the HUF.
### **2. Issues and Corrections:**
#### **Ownership and Income Assessment:**
- **Joint Property Ownership:** Since the property was purchased before the HUF was created and is still in joint names, the rental income from this property should generally be considered as personal income for the individuals named on the property.
- **HUF Creation and Property Transfer:** For the HUF to claim rental income from this property, the property would need to be legally transferred to the HUF. Since no transfer has been made, the property remains in the individual names, and rental income should be assessed to the individuals (father and Karta) rather than the HUF.
#### **Anomalies and Corrections:**
1. **Assessing Rental Income:**
- **For AY 2009-10 and onwards:** If the property has not been transferred to the HUF, rental income from this property should be assessed to the individual owners of the property (father and Karta). The HUF cannot claim income from a property it does not legally own.
2. **Property Transfer to HUF:**
- **Transfer Process:** To correctly assess rental income under the HUF, the property needs to be transferred to the HUF. This involves:
- **Transfer Deed:** Executing a transfer deed to move the property into the name of the HUF.
- **Documentation:** Proper documentation of the transfer and updating property records.
- **Income Declaration:** Once transferred, the rental income would be assessed under the HUF, and the HUF should file its tax returns accordingly.
3. **Correction of Past Assessments:**
- **Amend Returns:** If rental income from the property was incorrectly assessed under the HUF for the years it was not legally owned by the HUF, consider amending the returns for those years to correct the income allocation.
- **Consult a Tax Advisor:** For detailed corrections and implications, consult a tax advisor to ensure accurate adjustments and compliance.
4. **Current and Future Compliance:**
- **HUF Returns:** If the property is transferred to the HUF in the future, ensure that rental income from this property is correctly reported in the HUF’s tax returns.
- **Proper Documentation:** Maintain proper documentation of property ownership and income allocation to avoid discrepancies in future assessments.
### **Summary:**
- **Rental Income:** Since the property is still in joint names and was purchased before the HUF was created, rental income should be assessed to the individual owners of the property.
- **Property Transfer:** For the HUF to claim rental income, the property must be transferred to the HUF.
- **Correction:** If rental income was incorrectly assessed to the HUF, consider amending past returns and consult with a tax professional to ensure compliance and make necessary corrections.
- **Consult a Professional:** For detailed guidance and corrections, consulting a tax advisor or financial expert is recommended.
Taking these steps will help ensure that rental income is correctly assessed and reported, aligning with legal and tax requirements.
