My client wants to give gift of debenture worth Rs. 2.50 Lakhs to HUF (created by his son). My client is not the member of HUF.
I want to know the following:
1. Whether the gift will be taxable in the hand of Karta of HUF. (i.e. his son)?
2. Further interest income arising from debenture will be taxable either in the hand of client or his son.?

Your client wants to give gift of debenture worth Rs. 2.50 Lakhs to HUF (created by his son). the gift will be taxable in the hand of the HUF as your client is not the member of HUF. In such a situation interest income will be taxed in the hands of the HUF only.
.
A better planning may be opted.
.
You client can gift the debentures to his son and in turn his son may gift to his own HUF. Interest only will be clubbed in the hands of the son.

Alternatively your client should become the member of son's HUF & then he may gift it so as to avoid tax liability.

The decisions of the courts varies according to the interpretation of law existed at the time of transactions took place.
.
56(2)(v) will not apply for the prospective gift transactions after 31.03.2006.
.
As "Your Client wants to gift" means the law
as on the date of transaction will be applicable- as such Section 56(2)(vii) will apply.
.
Relatives have been redefined by including the relatives of HUF also. In case of a HUF -any member there of is relative.
.
The courts may opined differently for the gift transactions taken place on or after 1-10-2009 when the donor is other than a member.
