Hi Mihir, hope you are well. I want to create an HUF (Karta) with my wife + 2 minor daughters (members). The main purpose is to save tax by creating FDs in HUF. We want to have a good corpus there eventually (2 crore +) so that income generated by HUF can be used by us to cover our yearly expenses. I have a few questions. 1. If both me and my wife transfer some money (don't know what would be the best way - gift, loan or just transfer as initial capital) say 25 lakh each to HUF which we will then put in FD. Will the interest on this FD will be taxable in the hand of HUF or it will be clubbed with me and my wife's income. Both me and my wife are in 30% tax bracket. 2. What is the best (tax efficient) way to take out money from HUF and use it.

Ans: As money is contributed by member of HUF, income generated out of investment will be Income of HUF. Once money is invested in HUF, withdrawal is usually not allowed except in few circumstances

Question by Dilipkumar - May 28, 2023Hindi

Money

Good morning Sir, I am Karta of HUF. Other members (coparcenors) are my two daughters and wife. Income of HUF is from agriculture and interest. My questions are (1) Whether all above members are eligible to receive tax free gift from HUF ? (2) Is it necessary to give same amount of gift to all members ? (3) Can HUF deposits amount to PPF account of wife and can HUF claim for 80CC benefit for that? (4) Can wife has equal rights in HUF as others ? I will be highly thankful to receive above answers.

Ans: Gift received by member from HUF is Income in the hands of Members, as gift received from HUF is not considered as relative (which is not an income).

Accordingly, question of giving same amount will not arise and if HUF deposit amount in PPF account, it will be considered as Income in the hands of member and member will not be able to claim deduction also.

All the members to HUF have equal rights in HUF.

Sir, I am Karta of HUF. My two daughters and wife are other members. I have following questions. 1) Can HUF give any amount of tax free gift to any of above members or gift should be distributed equally? 2) Is wife possess equal rights as other members of HUF ? 3) Can HUF deposit amount to PPF account of wife and HUF can claim for 80 CC deduction for above amount? I will be highly thankful to you by receiving guidence.

Ans: No, any amount received by member from HUF will not be considered as gift for income tax purposes.

Further, wife can become member of HUF but can't be coparcener of HUF to get share on partition of HUF.

Amount contributed in PPF is eligible for deduction u/s 80C. However, HUF can not claim 80C for amount contributed for the account held in the name of member.

Question by PRAVEEN - Oct 25, 2024Hindi

Money

Thanks for your reply sir. Understood that karta can donate any amount to huf but any income generated by that amount will be taxable in hands of karta. Then no use of gifting amount. Thats why my plan is to take gift from other persons upto max 3 lacs per annum and show it as income in itr. As basic exemption limit is 3 lacs, no tax to be paid. Like that in 2 to 3 year 10 lakhs corpus will be created. Then i can generate income by investing in stocks, fds

Ans: 01. You are justified in concluding that any amount donated by karta, will be subject to clubbing provisions u/s 64 of Income Tax Act.
02. Any gift from other sources (other than relative) is exempt up to a maximum of Rs.50,000.00 in a year. You may proceed in the way you have suggested.
Most welcome for any other clarifications. Thanks.

Ans: Hello;

Send a reminder notice to the banks seeking time bound implementation of the Court order.

Either they may be preparing to appeal against the lower court order or it may be just a case of procedural delay.

Await their feedback before escalating to the court.

Money

My loans have crossed 40 lakhs and i dont have job. I dont know what should i do as i do not have any money to pay back. I am taking loans to repay interest for old loans.

Ans: Hello;

Sell some of your asset like land, gold or vehicle to repay the loan on priority.

Don't borrow to repay existing loans. Restructure the loans or seek a moratorium till you get a job.

Borrow funds from family and friends explaining your mistakes and promise to repay once you get another job.

Keep in mind the old saying to cut your cloth as per your size and act accordingly.
