Frequently asked questions
Who is the Karta of an HUF?
The head of the HUF is called the Karta. He is the senior-most male member of the family
Can a Woman be HUF Karta?
Yes! Until January 2016, a woman could not be the HUF Karta. But in a landmark case, the Delhi High Court ruled in favour of a female being the Karta of an HUF. However, the same has not been incorporated in the Income Tax Act as yet
Who are HUF Coparceners ?
All the members of the Karta’s family can be members of the HUF. The male members are called coparceners, while the females are referred to as just members. The difference between the two is that any of the coparceners can demand partition of the HUF.
Are there any minimum numbers of coparceners required for an entity to be taxed as HUF ?
An HUF can be formed with just two members one of whom is a coparcener. But for an entity to be taxed as an HUF, it should have at least two coparceners. For instance, if HUF consists of only husband and wife, then there is only one coparcener. So it will not be taxed in the hands of HUF except in the case where the funds are received on the partition of larger HUF. It will be taxed in the hands of a sole coparcener
Should a HUF always be a resident of India ?
It is not necessary that a HUF must always be a resident of India. In case, the control and management of the HUF is situated outside India, the HUF would be a non-resident. Where the affairs of the HUF are managed from outside India, the HUF would be a non-resident
