\ud83d\udcdd Quick Summary:<\/div>\n

<\/span>A Hindu Undivided Family isn’t just a legal structure for splitting property income; it can be a genuinely efficient vehicle for holding bonds. This article walks through the current rules on capital gains from listed and unlisted bonds, how the 12-month and 24-month holding periods apply to HUFs, the role of Section 54EC capital gain bonds, and how bond interest is taxed at slab rates – practical, current, and India-specific.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Most Indian families would probably tell you about property, gold, or mutual funds when asked about tax planning through a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF). Bonds are rarely brought up. This is somewhat surprising since bonds are actually quite tax-efficient for an HUF. As a separate taxpayer with its own tax slabs and exemption limit, routing bond investments through a HUF can lower your family’s tax outgo. After Budget 2024, rules around unlisted bonds changed quite a bit, so it’s worth checking the current rules before doing tax planning.<\/p>
