In the case of a builder/developer, piecemeal advance amount are received towards booking of the property. The sale deed is not executed till today and the amount is outstanding in the balance sheet of the builder. The party who has advanced the money also confirms the same
Under the circumstance Can the amount be treated as a deposit and covered u/s. 269SS, 269T?

Hi, It is neither loan or deposit. It is an advance given towards purchase of property. Such cases often seen in builders/Developers cases. Sec. 269SS or 269T not applicable in such cases. Also see the agreement carefully between parties before reaching any conclusion.
