Considering the totality of the facts and the arguments of both the sides, in our opinion, the sum of ₹ 14,50,000/- and ₹ 10,50,000/- cannot be treated to be in the nature of loan and advance so as to treat the same as deemed dividend within the meaning of Section 2(22)(e). In view of the above, in our opinion, only a sum of ₹ 1 lakh is liable to be taxed as deemed dividend. Accordingly, the addition of ₹ 45,36,024/- is reduced to ₹ 1,00,000/-. - Decided in favour of assessee in part. - ITA No. 4940/Del/2012 - - - Dated:- 21-10-2014 - SHRI G.D.

It was explained that the auditor of the company and proprietorship business of the assessee is same and in respect of his professional fee for the group, the provision and payment is made by DIPL and therefore, they have debited the audit fee pertaining to the assessee to the account of the assessee. Considering these facts, in our opinion, the payment of audit fee by DIPL and recovery thereof from the assessee cannot be treated to be deemed dividend within the meaning of Section 2(22)(e). In respect of another transaction of ₹ 3 lakhs, we find that the assessee made the payment of ₹ 3 lakhs on 14.11.2008 and thereafter on 5.1.2009, there was a payment by DIPL. It was contended by the learned DR that there was an opening debit balance of more than ₹ 35 lakhs in the hands of the assessee and the payment of ₹ 3 lakhs made by the assessee was towards the repayment of the earlier advance and therefore, the payment of ₹ 3 lakhs by DIPL to the assessee on 5.1.2009 is certainly in the nature of loan and advance.
