HUF account Clubbing process

Continuing the discussion from Ask me anything about HUF and its taxation:

@Quicko thanks for the quick video, I have small question me and my wife are both salaried income we have created a HUF account and transferred say some 15 lakhs into the HUF Demat account and earned some 2 lakhs from trading in f&o.

Now how much tax will have to be paid and does karta himself under his pan card too needs to pay some amount as part pf clubbing process

Hey @swaroop_bingumalla,

These profits will be taxable to the HUF. If this is the only source of income, there will be no tax liability because the income is less than the basic exemption limit.

So. No clubbing will Be effective right as i am in 30% bracket

Do the HUFs without Children gets the tax benefits? Aren’t they required to be clubbed?

@Quicko ???

Hey @nab,

For HUFs, the clubbing provisions are applicable only when a member/karta transfers a personal asset to the HUF and income is being generated from that asset. Other than this, there no such condition for an HUF to have children as members.

@Quicko Won’t be transferring 15 lakhs be treated as an Asset and getting 2 lakhs profit treated as income generated from that 15 lakhs asset?

If No, then what is treated as “member/karta transfers a personal asset to the HUF”?

Kindly clarify

You have to gift the 15 lakhs. If you transfer it with expectation to get it back then clubbing will apply.

Won’t gifting this huge amount attract tax at HUF level ?

Gift from members of HUF to HUF is tax free for HUF.
