If a company has given an advance to a director holding substantial interest in the company, but that advance is given for purchasing a property for company's business operations, but the deal didnt materialized and the advance was returned at the year end. Considering that other conditions of the section are satisfied, whether the advance will be considered as deemed dividend? Please give the relevant case laws too if section 2(22) (e) is not applicable?
