01 June 2015 Dear sir, An HUF receives a sum of Rs.425000/- in the beginning of this financial year, of 30 yrs. old litigation this year through cheque as settlement amount through court. The basic amount was been shown since 30 yrs. Rs.115000/-in HUF Balance sheet (assets side)as debtors. Since 30 yrs. no provision of interest was made on that litigation amount. What would be the tax implications for that as that HUF income is only interest income about 80000/- annually .. Kindly suggest ways to save income tax . Are there any investment plans to save the entire amount from taxation. kindly guide me. Also suggest some related articles/posts/ threads to read in this regard. thanks. shrenik kumar sancheti.
