Basic criteria for an HUF There are some essential conditions that must be fulfilled to qualify as an HUF. These are outlined below: • Only one member or co-parcener cannot form an HUF; • The joint family continues even in the hands of females after the death of the sole male member; • An HUF need not consist of two male members. One male member is enough. For example, a father and his unmarried daughters may form and HUF.
