Quick Summary
This discussion examines the tax implications for a company that sold land, with part of the payment being made directly to a shareholder holding over 10% of the company's shares. The core question is whether this transaction constitutes a deemed dividend, with the consensus leaning towards yes. Further clarification is sought on why the funds were directed to the shareholder's account, especially given the shareholder's substantial interest (over 40%) and potential lack of awareness regarding tax regulations.

According to me, yes, the same shall be considered as deemed dividend. But tell me one thing, why the consideration has been credited to shareholder's account.
Sabine..

Is the shareholder a promoter of the company and he holds substantial interest in the company.
He holds more than 40% share capital. Also I think they were unaware about this provisions.
