HUF consulatation

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion explores the tax treatment of substantial donations made to a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF). It clarifies that while a HUF may need to pay tax on the donation received, the income subsequently earned from that investment is generally taxable to the HUF itself, not clubbed with the individual donor. Gifts from members to a HUF are typically exempt, but specific sections like 64(2) of the IT Act may apply if individual property is transferred for inadequate consideration, leading to income clubbing.

16 June 2023 HUF is specified relative and hence gift above 50,000 ar not taxable if given by any of the member or karta. And also the income earned is taxed to HUF itself. Sir, if you have any section or case law supporting your claim please share.
