Thank you so much Amol ji.
I have no worries about clubbing of my income. have one more question. Will it make any difference if I hv a GST registration in my personal name. Or is it better if I surrender my GST registration and then take rent in HUF.

Yes, you can take rent from a self-acquired commercial property and deposit it directly into your HUF bank account. However, there are several important considerations and implications related to tax and GST (Goods and Services Tax) that you should be aware of.
### **1. Rent Collection and HUF Bank Account**
- **Deposit Rent in HUF Account:** You can deposit rent received from a commercial property into an HUF bank account. The key consideration is that the property must be officially held in the name of the HUF, and the rental income should be accounted for properly in the HUF’s books.
- **Property Ownership:** If the property is self-acquired and registered in your personal name, the rental income would typically be considered personal income. To route the rent through the HUF account, the property should ideally be transferred to the HUF, or you should have clear documentation and justifications for the arrangement.
### **2. GST Registration Considerations**
- **GST Registration in Personal Name:**
- **Current GST Registration:** If you already have a GST registration in your personal name, the rent received from the commercial property would be subject to GST. You would need to comply with GST regulations, including issuing tax invoices and filing GST returns.
- **Impact on HUF:** If you have GST registration in your personal name, and the property is rented out under your personal name, then the GST responsibilities and compliance will fall under your personal GST registration. This includes collecting GST on the rent and filing GST returns accordingly.
- **Surrendering GST Registration:**
- **If Surrendered:** If you surrender your GST registration, you would no longer be responsible for GST compliance on rental income. However, this could affect your ability to claim input tax credits if you were previously claiming them on related business expenses.
- **Transition to HUF:** If you transfer the GST registration to the HUF, you need to apply for a new GST registration in the name of the HUF and comply with GST requirements under the HUF’s name.
### **3. Practical Considerations:**
- **Accounting and Compliance:** Ensure that rent received and related transactions are properly documented and recorded in the HUF’s accounts. Maintain clear records to support the rental income declaration and compliance with tax regulations.
- **Tax Implications:** Be aware of the tax implications of transferring property and managing rental income through an HUF. The rental income would be subject to tax under the HUF’s name, and the HUF would need to file its tax returns accordingly.
- **Consult a Professional:** Given the complexities involved in GST and HUF accounting, it is advisable to consult with a tax advisor or GST professional. They can provide guidance on the best approach for your situation, including whether to maintain or surrender GST registration, and how to manage rental income effectively.
### **Summary**
1. **Rent Collection:** You can deposit rent into an HUF account, but ensure that property ownership and documentation are clear.
2. **GST Registration:** If you have a GST registration in your personal name, you must comply with GST requirements. Surrendering GST registration would impact your ability to claim input credits and GST compliance.
3. **Consult a Professional:** For accurate guidance and to navigate tax and GST implications, consult with a tax advisor or GST expert.
This approach ensures that you manage your rental income and GST compliance effectively while aligning with legal and tax requirements.
