What is HUF?
HUF, or Hindu Undivided Family, enables tax savings by forming a family unit to pool assets. It is taxed separately, allowing it to claim distinct deductions and exemptions. For example, if you and your spouse decide to create an HUF, both you and the HUF can claim a deduction under Section 80C. With its own PAN, an HUF files tax returns independently of its members.
Who can form an HUF?
Members of a family who belong to the Hindu, Jain, Buddhist, or Sikh Communities can form an HUF.
In an HUF, all members, including spouse, children and grandchildren, belong to the unit.
Mertis of HUF:
