24 June 2010 can any one tell me the difference between dividend and deemed dividend

24 June 2010 Dividend is when u receive dividend from the company when declared by the company and the same is exempt u/s 10(34).

Deemed dividend provisions apply if loan is given to a shareholder holding more than 10% in the company and the same is liable for tax under head income from other sources.

24 June 2010 AGREED WITH ADITYA JI.

The concept of Deemed Dividend is embedded in Section 2(22)(e) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 and was also embedded in section 2(6A)(e) of the Indian Income-tax Act, 1922. In nutshell, the concept envisages taxing certain payments made by closely held companies by way of loans or advances to certain shareholders of the company or to the concerns/companies in which they have substantial interest. Whenever any payment is made by way of loan or advance, the recipient of the loan or advance will be liable to be taxed on this amount as a dividend, to the extent to which the company has accumulated profits, under the deeming provisions of section 2(22)(e) although such loan or advance may have been given for genuine business purposes and even if the paying company may have received back the loan amount. Thus the section deems certain payments as dividend income which is not income under ordinary commercial parlance. Therefore,the name Deemed dividend
