Timeline

A Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) is a creature of personal law - it exists automatically among Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists by birth. The HUF can hold assets, run a business, earn rental income and own investments. It is taxed as a 'person' under the Income Tax Act with its own PAN and basic exemption. Income is taxed in the HUF, not the karta's individual return - subject to Section 64(2) clubbing rules.
TL;DR
HUF = extra tax person with its own slab + Rs 2.5 lakh exemption. File ITR-2 (no business) or ITR-3 (business). Don't fund it from individual assets - it gets clubbed under 64(2).
Karta
Senior-most male / eldest member who manages the HUF. Daughters can be karta after Supreme Court rulings.
Coparcener
Family member with birth-right in the HUF. Sons and daughters are coparceners after 2005 amendment.
Section 64(2)
Clubbing rule - if you transfer your own asset to HUF, the income clubs back to you.
