They have been filing IT returns as applicable in the past. Now they have decided to file their returns under the HUF category. They have acquired an HUF PAN and opened an HUF Bank Account, with X as the ‘Karta’. How will their IT returns be filed in the following categories, and which income of each will be filed under personal and which under HUF?

Hi,

I was unable to address your query. If a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) is created, you need to establish a corpus for it. Subsequently, you should invest and file its return once income is generated from the HUF corpus. Please note that your individual income cannot be directly transferred to the HUF.

If you require any further clarification, please feel free to contact me.
