18 April 2009 To avoid dividend ditribution tax especially private limited companies were using the mode of loans to directors either interest free or nominal interest loans for the movement of funds from company to shareholders / directors.

To curb this the income tax has introduced section 2(22) (e) wheren if the company gives loan to directors or shareholders and if the company is dealing in giving loans to public then the amount will be treated as deemed dividend.

The deemed dividend concept will apply to accumulated profits.

In your case you have given as loan is Rs.1.75 Crores to both.

Since the accumulated profits are less then the accumulated profits will be treated as deemed dividend.

In case 1 1 Crore will be deemed dividned to charged proportionately to a and b

similarly in case 2 0.50 lacs will be deemed dividend to be charged proportionately.

Some assesing officers will take the proportionate profit to the date of the loan and will deal with above section accordingly.
