In terms of taxes, HUF offers certain benefits. The HUF is recognized as a separate assessable or taxable entity under both the Income Tax Act and the Wealth Tax Act. Under the Act, a HUF is acknowledged as an unique assessable entity. In this article we will discuss all about PAN cards for HUF.
PANs are used to identify different taxpayers across the nation. A 10-digit unique identity alphanumeric number called a pan card is given to Indians, usually to those who are tax payers.
Every entity that pays taxes in India is given a special identifying number via the computer-based PAN system of identification. By using this technique, a person’s whole tax-related information is stored against a single PAN, which serves as an important key for information storage. Since this is shared throughout the nation, no two individuals in tax-paying organizations may have the same PAN.
The HUF stand for Hindu Undivided Family under Hindu Law and is made up of all living individuals who share a common ancestor, as well as the wives and daughters of those individuals.
According to a section of the Income-tax Act of 1961, for the assessment purposes under the Act, the Hindu Undivided Family is considered as a “person.” HUF is an independent tax-filing entity with its own Permanent Account Number (PAN). An HUF is made up of the “karta,” who is often the oldest person or family head, and the other family members.
The HUF’s daily operations are managed by the “karta.” Children are coparceners of their father’s HUF. When a daughter marries, she continues to be a coparcener in her father’s HUF while joining her husband’s HUF. Although Jain and Sikh families can create HUFs even if they are not governed to Hindu law.
An HUF is a separate legal entity, similar to a business or partnership. Therefore, it can submit a PAN card application on its own. Without a PAN card it wouldn’t do any of the financial transactions that a HUF is intended to conduct.
Details for Applying for an HUF PAN Card
The PAN card should arrive in around 21 days after submission if the documentation is in order.
A PAN Card plays a vital role for Hindu Undivided Families (UFs). It creates the HUF as a legal financial organization with the authority to carry out financial transactions including opening bank accounts, buying real estate, and making investments. I t is capable of filing a PAN card application on its own. It can not perform any of the financial transactions that a HUF is supposed to conduct without a PAN card. The primary benefit of opening a Hindu Undivided Family Account is that the family receives an additional PAN Card and may divide the family’s income, which can save taxes and other expanses.
