It is the mutual understanding of HUF, however, Karta is generally allowed to do so.

what you mean for "operate the account"
any one can deposit the money..
any one can withdraw money through atm card..
only one problem is issue cheque/issue withdraw slip. surely its can do by the account holder only.,
if its huf also there should be a account holder. whole family can not be as "account holder" otherwise whole family should be come to every transaction..

Answer: Yes, It is totally depend upon mutual understanding. There is no such type restriction in law.

But for any wrong done by the other person, only the KARTA will be responsible. Therefore, the KARTA has to think several times before authorising anybody else to operate the HUF account besides himself.

Such a decision has to be taken jointly by all the coparceners.

agree with Mr.R.Ramachandran Welcome Ashaji, to LCI. The A/c opener , Karta of HUF must instruct the Bank accordingly, authorizing concerned person to operate the Account.

Mr.Tom,
If any person is Depositing money, taking money in ATM are not called as operating the account.
If some other person is doing the same it is deemed that it is done in the name of the account holder, who is authorized to operate.
