Trust distinct legal entity: transfers from an HUF to a trust may attract gift tax if consideration is inadequate. A trust constituted for the benefit of members of a Hindu Undivided Family is a distinct legal entity separate from the HUF, and a transfer of property by the Karta to such a trust is a bilateral transaction between two separate legal persons; if such transfers are for no consideration or for less than adequate consideration, gift tax provisions will be attracted.
