06 November 2008 Our company wants to transfer a property in the name of the one of the Direcotr' HUF. Accordingly company will charge nominal rent from the director's HUF. On other side HUF will earn Income from the same property.
Can any one explain the implication in Income tax or any other act for the same transaction.

06 November 2008 Assuming that the HUF status is accepted by IT authorities, HUF will be assessable for property income depending upon its crossing the non taxable limit.

In the case of company it will have to be assessed for Capital gain.

06 November 2008 No. In the case of sale for a full consideration such a presumption is not possible.

07 November 2008 Dear Shailash

Sorry There is typing mistake.

The Querry was for renting of property or sale of property. But the answer is for sale of property only.

Please answer if property rented out to HUF what would be the legal implication and assumption of Assessing officer in this regard
