Dear Sir

I am a silent member, as per the instant question "if any company is getting interest from the deposit money of Share Application Money ,then that amount will be taxable under the head INCOME FROM OTHER SOURCES in the Hands of Comapny.

I am sure this will give you a way to solve your problem .

There is no judicial precedent on this issue. However if the interest on share application money is as per the terms of agreement , it can be contended that the same is in the nature of debt and ithe nature of interest being in the nature interest on debt, it is allowable as a deduction. Since the comapny is under an obligation to repay the money to the applicants in case the shares are not allotted, it may be contended taht the nature of relationship is that of a debtor and a creditor.
