Basic Exemption Limit and Tax Slabs Applicable to HUFs for FY 2025-26
The basic exemption limit and tax slabs for HUFs depend on the tax regime chosen for FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27).

What Tax Benefits Does an HUF Offer Over Individual Taxation?
A Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) is treated as a separate taxable entity under the Income Tax Act, 1961. This unique structure allows families to divide income, claim additional deductions, and use an extra tax exemption limit alongside individual taxation. Because an HUF files its own income tax return and has its own PAN, certain investments, capital gains exemptions, and tax deductions can be claimed separately from individual members. For families with shared ancestral asse
