Q127: Regarding the Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) as a form of business organization, which of the following statements is NOT correct?

A
Membership in the business is acquired automatically by birth in the family.
B
The liability of the 'Karta' (head of the family) is unlimited.
C
The liability of the 'Co-parceners' (other family members) is limited to their share in the family property.
D
Registration of the HUF business with the Registrar of Companies is mandatory to start operations.
✅ Correct Answer: D
Correct Option: D. Concept: Hindu Undivided Family (HUF). Reasoning: Why D is the Exception: HUF is a status governed by Hindu Law, not the Companies Act.
There is no requirement to register an HUF with the Registrar of Companies (RoC). It comes into existence through the joint family status.
Structural Rules: Karta: The eldest member manages the business and has Unlimited Liability (Option B is correct). Co-parceners: Other members have liability only up to the extent of their share in the ancestral property (Option C is correct).
