Frequently asked questions

Is an HUF deed legally mandatory?+

Technically an HUF exists by status (under Hindu law, it's automatic when a Hindu son is born). But in practice, the IT department and banks require a written declaration deed to recognise the HUF. Without a deed, you can't get a PAN, bank account, or demat for the HUF.

What stamp paper value do I need?+

₹100 is the standard across most Indian states. Maharashtra requires ₹500 minimum. Karnataka requires ₹200. Check your state's rate on eSahayak or any stamp vendor. The IT department doesn't care about the stamp paper value as long as the deed is legally executed.

Who are the members of an HUF at formation?+

Karta (head, typically the eldest male or the founder), spouse of karta, all children (sons and daughters, since the 2005 amendment), and their children. The HUF can accept gifts from non-members to build corpus; it cannot receive salary from members without clubbing provisions.

Can a woman be a karta?+

Yes, since the 2005 amendment to the Hindu Succession Act. Daughters are now coparceners with equal rights. In the absence of a male adult member, a woman can be the karta. Practically, most HUFs still have a male karta for bank/IT compliance ease.

Does NYVO store my deed data?+

No. All generation happens entirely in your browser – the deed is built client-side and sent to your browser's print dialog as a hidden iframe. Nothing is sent to any NYVO server. Your data never leaves your device.
