All married Hindu males are eligible to form a HUF . The Gifts and inheritance is what makes the core of the HUF . The HUF will consist of the Karta and other Co parceners . The DOB of the HUF is your wedding day.
I don’t think the income is clubbed as your income. All HUF members can transfer funds to HUF as interest free loan and then HUF can generate its own income out of it. That will remain HUF income and will not be clubbed in the income of the member. I have been operating it for many years now. Had similar queries in the beginning which were sorted out by my CA.
You can consult your CA/Financial advisor before taking a call.
I am also intrested in knowing more about the same.
As of now i think we can give loan to Huf by Karta or Member at a reasonable intrest rate after that the income generated from that loan amount will not be clubed in Lender’s income.
In case of gifts upto 50k without consederation are tax free under section 56 of income tax in one year above 50k it will be charged at normal slab rates. Once the Huf pay tax on these gifts above 50k the income generated on the gift amount will not be clubed in future.
As per my understanding, mostly HUF has real estate as main assets (by way of inheritance) then that generates rental income and then Karta can do many things with this income. Thanks!
Income upto 7 lac is tax free. So you can create income in HUF . Ancestor property can be moved to HUF and any rental income from that can be used to create base.
Also shares / gold from Inheritance can be moved to HUF .
Start any business in name of HUF . If you are purely a salaried person / equity investor HUF may not be very menaingful apart from saving a few 1000,s in tax at base rate. Bcoz equity taxation eventually is same
It.helps only when u have a rental income from property or f.d income which
