HUF Complainces

✅ Compliances for an HUF

A HUF (Hindu Undivided Family) is like a small family business created using family relationships.
Just like any business, an HUF also has to follow some rules. Here are the main compliances.

1️⃣ Create HUF Properly

Before doing any compliances, an HUF should be formally created.

✔ Make a HUF Deed – a written document confirming the formation of the HUF.

✔ Get PAN for HUF – a separate PAN number, different from the Karta’s (head of family).

✔ Open a HUF Bank Account – for all HUF money and transactions.

2️⃣ Maintain Books & Proof of HUF Income

Just like a small business:

✔ Maintain simple accounts (not mandatory but advisable):

• Income
• Expenses
• Investments
• Capital account

✔ Keep proof that the income belongs to the HUF, not to an individual.

3️⃣ File Income Tax Return (ITR) Every Year

HUF must file ITR-2 or ITR-3 depending on income type.

💡 ITR filing due date:

• 31 July (normal)
• 31 October (if audit is applicable)

4️⃣ TDS (Tax Deduction at Source)

If HUF pays salaries, rent, or certain professional fees, it must deduct TDS like any business.

Examples:

• Rent above ₹50,000/month → TDS
• Payments to professionals → TDS
• Interest payments (in some cases) → TDS

5️⃣ GST Registration (Only if Business is Done)

HUF needs GST only when it does business and turnover crosses limits:

• ₹20 lakh for services
• ₹40 lakh for goods

If GST is applicable → file monthly/quarterly returns.

6️⃣ Audit Requirements

Audit applies only if:

• Business turnover crosses ₹1 crore
• Profession income crosses ₹50 lakh
• Or specified conditions (44AD, 44ADA, 44AE cases)

7️⃣ Investments & Assets in HUF Name

If HUF invests money, keep these in its name:

✔ Mutual funds
✔ FDs
✔ Shares
✔ Property
✔ Gold

This helps prove the asset belongs to HUF (not the Karta personally).

8️⃣ Gift Rules & Documentation

HUF can receive gifts from:

• Members (tax-free)
• Relatives (tax-free)
• Non-relatives up to ₹50,000 per year

Always maintain:

✔ Gift deed
✔ Donor’s PAN
✔ Reason for gift

9️⃣ Partition of HUF (If Needed)

If family decides to end the HUF:

✔ Make a partition deed
✔ Close HUF bank account
✔ Inform Income Tax Department
