17 March 2009 For making HUF the only basic requirement is the two levels of generations..

Father and son...

So, even in a joint family there may be more than one HUF.

For example,
Mr. X is living with his two sons Mr. A & Mr. B and their families i.e. Mr.A's wife and son Mr. M and Mr.B's Wife and son Mr. N

the possible HUF in this family can be:
1. Mr. X --- Mr. A & Mr. B (Sons) --- Mr. M & Mr. N (Grandsons)
2. Mr. A --- Mr. M (Son)
3. Mr. B --- Mr. N (Son)

hence, even if they are living together, they can form separate HUFs' with their immediate family.
