NO Bengalis are not entitled to HUF,
As they ar guided by the Dayabhaga School of Hindu Law. where the right to family property arises on death of father.
Dayabhaga School of Law rules over Bengal & Assam
HUF is allowed only in case of Mitakshara School of Hindu Law where the right to family property arises on birth.
Mitakshara is applicable to rest of the Country.
The Income Tax Act agrees to the Hindu School of Law.
