HUF stands for Hindu Undivided family & governed by Hindu law board. The expression “Hindu Undivided Family” has not defined under the Income Tax Act or in any other statute. HUF could be formed by a married couple or by members of a joint family. To form a HUF minimum two members are required & at least one among whom should be a male member of the family.
