Check out the decision of Jharkhand HC (2005) 275 ITR 399 (Jharkhand), held that Share application money partakes the character of deposit within the meaning of 269SS. 1. Receipt of Share Application money in cash exceeding Rs.20,000 should be avoided. 2. There is no issue with regard to allotment of shares against share application money received in cash.

In the case of Jagvijay Auto finance(p) ltd., v CIT (1995) 52 ITD 504(Jp-Trib) it has been held that share application money does not constitute deposit covered u/s 269SS. That is why I said about controversy.
