Sir thanks for valuable reply. My friend also told that karta can give interest free loan with an intention of repayment. Is this true? Can i give loan like that through loan agreement. Did my huf have to show loan amount in itr under any section. And my final doubt is if my huf repays loan amount to me, did i have to show it in my itr as it is only principle received without any interest.

Ans: 01. Karta may give loan (with Interest or Interest Free) to HUF, which shall be returned after some time, but through banking channels only.
02. In case of Interest on this loan, the Interest part can be claimed as expenses (deduction) from the Income generated by HUF.
03. These transactions need to be disclosed in both ITRs (of Karta & HUF's).
Hope this clears all your doubts. However, most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

Sir how to disclose loan amount in itr2 of huf. I mean under which section? And how to show repayment made to karta in his itr? Is it again treated as income of karta although it doesnt have any interest part.
Ans: 01. Loan amount need not be shown in ITR, only Interest charged, if any, should be declared as Income in ITR of Karta.
02. Again repayment of loan need not to be mentioned in ITR, but only through banking channels, so that in case of any enquiry by the department, it can be referred.
03. Repayment of loan will not be treated as income, but Interest received, if any, shall only be treated as Income.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

What happens when a Mutual Fund company shuts down / gets sold off?
Ans: Hello;

If a mutual fund company gets sold or fails, the process is prescribed by SEBI:

In case MF company is Sold,
The new fund house may:
1. Continue the scheme with a new name and management.

2. Merge the scheme with similar funds and offer investors the option to exit without any exit load.

In case MF company shuts down,
The fund house will:
1. Pay out investors based on the fund's last recorded Net Asset Value (NAV) and the number of units the investor holds, after deducting expenses.

2. If the company is not in a position to do so then SEBI may liquidate the funds assets and distribute the proceeds to unit holders.

It is also pertinent to note that mutual fund regulation in India is one of the most stringent and hence best, from investor's point of view, globally.

This is not just in theory. We have seen how the Franklin Templeton abrupt closure of debt funds was handled with surgical precision, by SEBI, with no loss to unitholders.


Skin in the game regulation mandates that 20% salary of key mutual fund personnel and fund managers is paid in terms of units of their funds with a 3 year lock-in.

The stocks and bonds purchased by the AMC for the fund are held by a custodian, appointed by the trust that administers the fund.

The trust engages into a investment management agreement with the AMC for managing the fund as per their mandate and within regulatory guidelines.

Registrar and Transfer Agents handle the investor registration,kyc, maintaining records, providing account and tax statements etc.

Happy Investing;
