As per IT act:: For HUF its members are relatives, but reverse not clarified!!
That may be because, HUF cannot give gift, but accept any amount!!!
Well, In Vineetkumar Raghavibhai Bhalodia v. ITO (ITA No.583 / Rajkot/2007 decided on 17.05.2011): It was held that "HUF is a group of relatives and a gift from group of relatives of the HUF could not be excluded from the tax exemption. It held that the term ‘relative’ whether individual or from a group of relatives such as ‘HUF’ fall within the Explanation to section 56(2)(vi) of the Act. Accordingly, it held that the amount received by a member of the HUF could not be subjected to tax."
