well for deemed dividend, loan should be given to someone who owns shares in your company. so normally loans given to subsidiary should not attract deemed dividend provided that no other shareholder of the company owns minimum shares required ie 10% of the holding company and 20% of the subsidiary. In such a case deemed dividend is taxed in the hands of such sharedholder.
In your case if the company itself owns the 85% of the subsidiary, no deemed dividend should trigger
