My client had received ICD from another company where there is only common shareholder. my client (assessee company) is not a shareholder of the other company. The AO under directions of Addl CIT had included the ICD as deemed dividends. On appeal, the CIT(A) allowed the claim. The department is in appeal before the ITAT.

Please advise whether the action of the AO is correct? Any case law to support the claim of the assessee company.

An early reply will be greatly appreciated as the appeal is listed for hearing on Monday.

ICDs are different from loans or advances and would not come within the purview of deemed dividend as per the citations reported in 28 sot 383 and  28 ITCL(II)551. Please go through the same and use in support of your argument.

Respected Pawanji,

In Bhaumik Colour (P.) Ltd's case 118 ITD 1(Mum) (SB), the issue whether loans & Advances are different than ICDs/deposits never fell for consideration. The issue there was whether deemed dividend can be assessed only in hands of a person who is a shareholder of lender company and not in hands of a person other than a shareholder. The question before the Spl. Bench was answered in affirmative.

Regds.

Sir,
i agree. But i gave him a judgementwhich also supports his facts. His client is not shareholder of the company. There is only one common shareolders. Acoording to my limited knowledge of tax , the rati of bhaumik amy also apply to his case.
