05 April 2011 No both the transaction will not attract deemed dividend as the company receiving loan should hold more than 10% and not the granting person.

Also loan received from 100% subisidiary company is outside the net of deemed dividend.

05 April 2011 Aditya, can you please identify the provision under which 100% subsidiary is outside the net of deemed dividend.

There is no such exception in section 2(22)(e).

13 December 2011 First of all in case where company B gives loan to company A then deemed dividend will be applicable and not in vice versa.
So loan must be given to a shareholder holding more than 10% which is not the case here.
