Which of these interests may a Hindu man dispose of by will under section 30 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 30 permits a Hindu to make a will disposing of property capable of testamentary disposition, including self-acquired property. Its Explanation specifically treats a male Hindu's Mitakshara coparcenary interest as disposable by will. This power extends to his own undivided interest without the other coparceners' consent. The 2005 amendment changed the wording of the operative provision to refer to disposition by him or by her.

A Hindu man can bequeath his self-acquired property and his undivided Mitakshara coparcenary interest.
Option B
His testamentary power also extends to his self-acquired property.
Option C
Section 30 covers both his self-acquired property and, under its Explanation, his own undivided interest in Mitakshara coparcenary property.
Option D
Section 30 permits testamentary disposition of both interests.
