03 August 2025 es, a bank can give a business loan to a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF).

Key points:
HUF is a recognized separate entity for income tax and banking purposes.

Banks do provide business loans to HUFs for business purposes.

Loan is taken in the name of the HUF, and the Karta (head of the HUF) generally signs the loan documents.

Collateral security can be in the individual name of the Karta or other family members, but banks usually prefer the security to be in the name of the borrowing entity (HUF) or guarantor.

The bank will evaluate the creditworthiness of the HUF and the Karta, along with the value of the security.

In your case:
Loan to HUF is fine as a business loan.

Collateral security in the Karta’s individual name is acceptable, but the bank may require additional documents or guarantees to cover this.
