Purchasing property in the name of a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) and having rent income taxed in the HUF's name offer tax-saving opportunities, but there are several drawbacks and complexities involved.
Key Drawbacks of Buying Property in HUF Name
Complex Taxation & Compliance
While rent income from HUF-owned property is taxed separately from members, managing HUF accounts and returns can be complex and often requires professional advice. The Karta (head of HUF) must strictly comply with tax obligations and maintain thorough documentation distinct from personal filings.

Limited Individual Control
Property held by an HUF is collectively owned by all members. Individual members, including the Karta, cannot unilaterally sell or transfer the property. Important decisions often require consensus among members, and if minors are involved, court approval may be needed.
Succession & Dispute Risks
Succession after the Karta’s death can be contentious. Multiple heirs can result in complications or disputes over management and division. Family disagreements can delay or complicate the sale or partition of property.
Difficulty in Selling
Buyers are often wary of HUF-owned property due to possible claims from multiple coparceners. Clear title issues and the need for consent from all adult members can make property sales slower and less attractive to buyers.
Gender and Equality Concerns
Despite legal reforms, female members might not always receive equal practical consideration as coparceners, and patriarchal practices can still influence management and rights allocation.
