In my opinion on the basis of section 2(22)(e) the loan may not be deemed as dividend on the following grounds-
1. The company is not closely held company. 2. The director may be a person not having substantial interest in the company as a shareholder. (10% of Voting Power) 3. The public limited company is not releasing any asset of it as it is showing it as a loan.
