According to the Income Tax Act, 1961, a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) can be classified as a resident or non-resident in India based on certain conditions. The residential status of an HUF plays a vital role in determining the tax liability in India.
The following are the conditions that a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) must satisfy to be called a "resident" in India:
1. Resident in India for the Financial Year: The HUF should have stayed in India for at least 182 days or more in the relevant financial year. However, in case of certain exceptions, the minimum period of stay may be reduced.
2. Resident in India for 4 Years: The HUF should have stayed in India for at least 4 out of 10 previous years immediately preceding the relevant financial year.
If both the above conditions are fulfilled, the HUF will be considered as a "resident" in India for the purpose of Income Tax.
In case any of the above conditions are not satisfied, the HUF will be classified as a "non-resident" for the purpose of Income Tax.
It is important to note that the residential status of an HUF is determined on an annual basis, i.e., it has to be checked for every financial year separately based on the above conditions.
Moreover, the residential status of an HUF has a significant impact on the taxability of its income. While the income earned by a resident HUF is taxable in India, the income earned by a non-resident HUF is taxable only in India if it arises or is deemed to arise in India.
