Hi Shridhi
In my view,
Partnership is a firm with 2 or more partners. So making another entity as its
subsidiary is allowed subject to the % of holding shares.
Where as HUF, though a group is yet operated only through KARTA , i,e
Head of the family - an individual. The involvement of other members of HUF
is business is not active except KARTA ( Only 1 Individual).
This could be the reason, why HUF is not allowed for overseas investment.
This is my view, experts please correct if i am wrong.
i Further stand with Mr. Ankur's view.
