07 March 2012 Dear Friend,

The HUF is governed by Hindu Sucession Act and not Income Tax Act,1961. The two things are very important to understand in case of HUF;
Coparcener is someone who has the right to demand the share of the property of family;
Coparceners are generally the Karta (Main decision maker of family, usually the Father , but
Manmohan Singh had brought an amendement which stated that Females can
become Karta & there can be an all female HUF as well), then sons & daughters, grandsons
and great grandsons in order of their first right. Wife of the Karta is not a coparcener or even
spouse are not coparceners and hence can’t demand/ ask for any share in HUF, they are just
merely members of HUF.

Thanks
