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.
Continue filing ITR in the name of the HUF.
The new Karta signs as “representative assessee.”
