Earlier HUF could not give or receive gift to or from its members beyond a sum of INR 50,000/-without making the donor liable to tax u/s 56(2). However Finance Act, 2012 extended the definition of a relative to include gift from any member of an HUF to HUF. Thus an HUF can now receive a gift from its member exceeding INR 50,000/- without any liability to pay tax u/s 56(2) of Income Tax Act.
