Hindu Undivided Family

👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 HUF Registration in India – A Smart Way to Save Tax as a Family Unit

Looking to manage your family assets, ancestral property, or business under a single legal entity?
Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) is a unique structure under Indian law that allows a family to be treated as a separate tax entity, helping you manage wealth efficiently and enjoy exclusive tax benefits.

Let us help you register your HUF and optimize your family’s income and assets.

✅ What is an HUF?

A Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) is a separate legal entity under Hindu Law. It consists of a common ancestor and all his male lineal descendants (including daughters after the 2005 amendment) who live together and hold joint family assets.

💡 Why Register an HUF?

💰 Tax Saving – HUF gets its own PAN and tax slab, separate from individual members
🏠 Asset Management – Manage ancestral property or business income collectively
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family-Owned Business Structure – Profits can be taxed in HUF’s hands, not individuals'
🧾 Separate Legal Identity – File separate income tax returns for HUF

Must be a Hindu, Sikh, Jain, or Buddhist family
Consists of at least two members (e.g., husband and wife)
