Hi,
A Hindu family can come together and form a HUF. In your case after the death of father, the five sons can come together and form a Single HUF as they are lineally descended from the common ancestor. Creating Five HUF is not possible.
Once an HUF is formed it must be formally registered in its name. An HUF should have a legal deed. The deed shall contain details of HUF members and the business of the HUF. A PAN number and a bank account should be opened in the name of the HUF. HUF has its own pan and files a separate tax return.
