932 views 15 replies
What if Karta died ??Can successors run the same huf with the same name, by only signatory name change.    
Actually, my client's father died around 10-12 years ago , but my client still runs this huf, actually there have not been so many transactions but in the last F.Y.  there is an Income Tax refund but he lost that HUF pan card & even kyc is also pending in Banks so the refund is still pending. Even not making yet Aadhar card of the karta, Without aadhar NSDL also can't help to reprint of Pan Card. What to do ??

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) continues even if the Karta passes away. The eldest coparcener automatically becomes the new Karta, and the HUF's name remains the same. Key steps include updating the PAN card, informing the Income Tax Department with a new deed and death certificate, and updating bank signatories. The new Karta signs tax filings as the 'representative assessee'.

Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) continues even after the death of the Karta. The eldest coparcener (male or female) automatically becomes the new Karta. The HUF name remains the same; only the signatory for bank accounts, PAN, and filings needs to be updated.

  • PAN Update:
      • Inform the Income Tax Department of the change in Karta.; by submitting new HUF deed. Submit death certificate of the deceased Karta.

File an application with banks and IT department to update Karta details.

Keep documentation ready: death certificate, affidavit of coparceners, proof of new Karta.

 

Update signatory to the new Karta.

  • Income Tax Filings:

Continue filing ITR in the name of the HUF.

The new Karta signs as “representative assessee.”

 

Thank You So Much Sir..................... ................ ........

Hi I have few questions here. 

1. What should be the process in case Karta is alive but want to voluntarily step down. 

2. Do I need to update PAN detail in NSDL website. I am asking this because there is no option to "change name of Karta" in form 94.

3. Is it at all necessary to update details of Karta with NSDL? I have only prepared the PAN with my father as Karta. I have not logged in to Income Tax Portal neither opened a bank account. Can I just prepare a new HUF deed with me as Karta and open bank account and log in to income tax portal?

Expecting your reply. Thanks in advance.
