HUF is a separate legal status recognized in Income tax Act, which recognize it as a separate taxable entity. In past when most of the businesses were controlled by family and passed generation to generation, HUF was the legal vehicle to carry it to next generation. As the businesses were not under ownership of a single member but the family as a whole used to own it.
