HUF
Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) is a unique way of organizing a family’s financial and business affairs in India. It allows a family, consisting of all lineal descendants of a common ancestor, to be recognized as a separate legal entity for income tax purposes. HUF is commonly used by families to efficiently manage assets, plan for future generations, and take advantage of various tax benefits.
