Will any clubbing provision apply in case of transfer of asset to Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) by its member?
Hi @Dixita
As per section 64(2)​, when an individual, being a member of HUF, transfers his property to the HUF otherwise than for adequate consideration or converts his property into the property belonging to the HUF, then it will attract the provisions of clubbing. Entire income from such property will be clubbed with the income of transferor.
I recently got married and wanted to form the HUF. Since we do not have any child.
Can we take gift as 50k of initial corpus to form a HUF? Will, this 50k have to come from the father only or any relative/friend/Mother can give this?
Also will this implies any tax implication? (I believe no)
What will happen eg. If I take 50k from a friend/Mother and fund the HUF initial corpus.
Then took another 2Lac from Mother since 2.5Lac is the tax exemption limit. (maybe 1.5Lac invested to 80c)
Will it be considered or anything related to clubbing needs to be considered?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Hi @smarty_pokemon, we recommend that you take the amount as a "gift’ into your own account and then introduce it as a capital into the HUF. You can read more about “clubbing of income” in the artcle mentioned below. Always happy to help. Let me know if you have any other query.

If this is not possible . then . I trade in my huf account . And pay salary commission etc to my individual account . Is this possible ?
Hello @HIREiN,
Intraday trading is considered as a speculative business under the income tax act. Any expense that is incurred for the business activity can be claimed as a business expense.
The onus to prove that business expenses claimed relates to the business activity is on the taxpayer.
Here is an article for more clarity:

but my query was : Can i pay salary commission etc to my huf account ? as both the person is the same !
Hello @HIREiN,
If you pay a salary to HUF then Salary paid will be an expense for the trader and income for the HUF.
Ideally, you can’t pay salary from an individual account to HUF even though both are separate legal entities since HUF has not contributed through any skills in the trading for which you pay them a salary.
Hope this helps

it is ok ?

for opening the HUF ;
affidavit is required on the stamp paper !
what is the amount value of the stamp paper ?
is it judicial stamp paper or non-judicial stamp paper ?
is it required to be notarized ?
Hi @HIREiN
One person cannot form HUF. It can only be formed by a family.
A husband and a wife cannot make a separate HUF as they are part of the same family. A female can be Karta, if she’s an eldest member of the family.
- An affidavit has to be on judicial stamp paper. The amount of stamp paper depends on the capital contribution.
- It is a judicial stamp paper.
- An affidavit can be notarized.

Hi,
My Dad gifted me a parcel of land, after my Dad died, this land has been transferred into my name.
Now I would like to transfer this land to my HUF.
- How do I go abt…my understanding is to pay the stamp duty and transfer the land into HUF.
- This Land will be leased out early next year, will the income be clubbed to my income?
Thanks in advance.

Hello @Kiran,
Yes, As per section 64(2) when an asset is transferred to HUF without any consideration or with inadequate consideration then income from such asset received by HUF will be clubbed and taxable in the hands of the Transferor (member).
So the lease payments received by HUF will be clubbed and taxable in your hands.
Here’s a read on that: Clubbing of Income as per Section of Income Tax Act - Learn by Quicko
Hope this helps!
Thanks much for your reply.
In this case, I shall be paying the stamp duty based on govt guidance value ( Adequate consideration). So I guess it should not be clubbed.
Thanks .

HUF is a tax vehicle for hindu .only .
Are there any such vehicle for muslims or christians ?
Hi @HIREiN
An HUF can be formed by members of a family belonging to Hindu, Jain, Buddhist and Sikh communities.
Members belonging to Muslim, Christian or any other communities would not be eligible to form an HUF since HUF is created in accordance with Hindu Law.
