19 September 2009 huf can claim deduction when lic is paid for the members of the huf.

19 September 2009 Thanks for the reply sir. The son is not a member of his father`s huf file. The son is having his own independant huf file with his wife as a member. In this case can the father claim the lic benefit if he pays for his son. Kind Regards

19 September 2009 Basically the concept is going ahead on a wrong appreciation of law. HUF is a concept of HIndu customary law. Under the Hindu law son is a member of fathers HUF by birth & no amount of any other intervention can prevent him from being a member of the father's HUF. I am not sure whether it is legally correct for him to have his own HUF without demanding a partition of his father's HUF. Pls go through Hindu Succession Act for the procedure of demanding succession.
Thus in the present case I am of the opinion that the son is a member of his father's HUF & the legal validity of his own HUF is questionable.
