HUF'S ISSUE

You can do that on health ground. Take consent of all the members.

Not necessary to report it on NSDL website. Prepare new Deed & report KARTA (new) on Incometax web whenever you register PAN.

The HUF does not automatically end when its Karta dies. The coparceners can continue the same HUF and PAN; the successor Karta should be recorded as the authorised representative/signatory. Do not apply for a fresh HUF PAN. The successor should establish the succession and Karta change with the bank and the Income-tax Department.

• Obtain the deceased Karta’s death certificate and prepare a declaration/resolution identifying the continuing HUF, its coparceners and the successor Karta. The bank may require its own format, member KYC and updated mandate.
• For a duplicate PAN card, use the existing HUF PAN and apply through the prescribed reprint/change process. Since the applicant is the HUF, ask the PAN service provider what documents it accepts where the HUF’s former Karta is deceased; Aadhaar is not a substitute for the HUF’s PAN. The current document requirements should be confirmed with the provider.
• Update the bank’s HUF KYC and authorised signatory, then check the refund status on the income-tax e-filing portal. Ensure the HUF bank account is pre-validated and nominated for refund, and address any return-processing or refund reissue request shown there.

The key issue is documenting the successor Karta and updating records, rather than creating a new HUF. Keep the name and PAN consistent across the return, bank account and refund request; the exact documents depend on the bank and the PAN service provider’s current process.

This succession-and-KYC workflow also connects directly to resolving an old refund and restoring compliant records. Manual follow-ups across banks, PAN services and tax portals are difficult; automation reduces repetitive work while professional judgment remains in control.
