The facts of the case is as follows. Mr. A & Mr. B are 2 individuals, both A and B hold 20 % shares in C Pvt. Ltd. Moreover, there is a company called D Pvt . Ltd. where in both A & B holds 50% shares each. Now C Pvt. Ltd. wants to give loan to D Pvt. Ltd. My Queries are 1) Does this proposal attract the provision of Deemed Dividend u/s 2(22)e , if yes on which amount?? 2) What is the best legal route to escape the incidence of deemed dividend.
