HUF Taxation Rules Under New Income Tax Act Explained
A Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) is recognized as a separate taxable entity under both the old Income-tax Act, 1961, and the new Income-tax Act, 2025, effective from April 1, 2026. For the tax year 2026–27, HUF income up to ₹4 lakh is exempt from tax, with concessional slab rates thereafter. Transferring personal savings to an HUF for separate taxation is a possible tax-planning strategy, as money received from members is exempt under the "relative" exemption.
