Sir, we were married in 2012, but recently opened huf pan. Now I have to file itr. My doubt is can I file itr for previous years showing 2,50,000 gift income/year as It is tax empemt? Also we received gifts of few lakhs between 2012-2024 during marriage and functions. Can we show that funds as huf capital now after pan creation. Huf incorporation date as per pan is 29/03/2012. But pan issue in 2024 october

Ans: 01. Kindly note that only Gifts received at the time of marriage are exempt for Individuals & not HUF. You can claim any gift as marriage gift only in the year of marriage & not at any later stage.
02. Gifts received on other functions are not exempt, unless received from relatives.
03. Gifts received should preferably be through banking channels. This shall prove authenticity of the gift.
04. Gift from any member of the HUF to HUF is exempt & is not taxable in the hands of HUF.
05. You cannot claim that Gifts received by you or your spouse in previous years, belong to HUF, since you have not transferred the amount to HUF account in due course.
06. Before proceeding further, please check, for how many years you can file your ITRs ?.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.
