Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) can purchase goods from its members and then sell them to external customers. The consensus is that this is permissible, provided the transactions are conducted at an 'Arms Length Price' (ALP). While ALP is a formal term related to transfer pricing, the practical advice is to ensure reasonable profit margins for the HUF and report related-party purchases if required by tax regulations.
Yes, there's no problem in this if the transaction is at Arms Length Price. Please like my reply if you are satisfied so that I will be motivated to answer more
Yes HUF can purchase from members. However Arm's length price is for associated enterprises having domestic transfer pricing applicable. So there is generally no need of confusing the queriest with fancy terminologies.
Practically, ensure that there is a reasonable margin of profit in the books of HUF so there is not much complexity. Also, report the purchases from related parties in tax audit report if applicable.
