I do not agree that advance salary can be deemed dividend. At the time of salary provision, director's account may be credited and advance salary might be debited. At the time of payment, Director's account might have been debited so that there is no outstanding balance in the account. Also advance salary attracts TDS. Once a sum paid is salary, it cannot be treated as dividend.
