Basant Bansal , Alwar vs Department Of Income Tax
- CitationITA No. 610/JP/2012
Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on
The Tribunal, following the Rajasthan High Court's decision in CIT v. Hotel Hiltop (as applied by the CIT(A)), holds that a deemed dividend under section 2(22)(e) is to be assessed in the hands of the shareholder who is the beneficial owner of the shares, not in the hands of the company. Where a payment or advance by a company to a concern in which the shareholder holds the requisite substantial interest is shown to have been made in the course of genuine business transactions, such as initial payment under a land purchase agreement or payments under a joint development collaboration, it is not a loan or advance within the meaning of section 2(22)(e) and cannot be treated as deemed dividend.

These are the appeals filed by the department against the order

Grounds in revenue's appeal ITA No. 611/JP/2012
"1(i) Whether on the facts and circumstances of the case of CIT(A) (Central), Jaipur has erred in law and on facts in holding that the amount advanced by M/s Mistry Meadows Pvt.

1(iii) Whether on the facts and circumstances of the case the CIT(A) (Central), Jaipur has erred in law and on facts in holding that the amount advanced by M/s B&B Mercantile Pvt.

2. In both the assessment years, the revenue is challenging the
deleting addition of Rs. 25,25,000/- and Rs. 7,85,559/- in A.Y. 2007-08
and Rs. 13,76,629/- , 16,71,302/- and Rs. 80,46,100 in A.Y. 2008-09,
the additions made U/s 2(22)(e) of the Income tax Act, 1961
(hereinafter referred as the Act) as deemed dividend. The ld Assessing
Officer observed that from HDFC Book for the period 01/4/2006 to
31/3/2007 submitted alongwith reply dated 10/08/2010 during the
course of assessment proceedings in the case of M/s Benchmark
Infotech Pvt. Ltd. that an amount of Rs. 25.25 lacs had been received
by it from M/s Misty Meadows Pvt. Ltd., which has been repaid on
22/03/2007. Shri Basant Bansal held 18.80% shares of M/s Misty
Meadows (P) Ltd. and 50% shares of M/s Benchmark Infotech Pvt. Ltd.
during the year 2006-07. Shri Basant Bansal held more than 10% 4 ITA 610 & 611/JP/2012_ DCIT Vs. Basant Bansal
shares in M/s Misty Meadows (P) Ltd., which had given the loan and
held more than 20% shares of M/s Benchmark Infotech Pvt. Ltd., which
had received the advance. Accumulated profit on the M/s Misty
Meadows (P) Ltd. as on 31/3/2007 was Rs. 1,85,91,329.39. Therefore,
the amount of Rs. 25.25 lacs paid by M/s Misty Meadows (P) Ltd. to M/s
Benchmark Infotech Pvt. Ltd. was considered to be dividend paid to Shri
Basant Bansal in view of the provisions of Section 2(22)(e) of the Act.
The ld Assessing Officer gave show cause notice on it, which was
replied by the assessee and considered by him during the course of
assessment proceedings. It was submitted before him that M/s Misty
Meadows (P) Ltd. had share premium account, which was not available
for any distribution to the company. The ld Assessing Officer found that
accumulated profit as on 31/3/2007 under the head share premium
account at Rs. 99,50,000/- and P&L account at Rs. 86,41,329.39. The
share premium account remained constant, therefore, there was no
question of advancing any amount from this account. During the year,
the assessee held sufficient profit of M/s Misty Meadows (P) Ltd. and
from which it had advanced Rs. 25.25 lacs to M/s Benchmark Infotech
Pvt. Ltd.. The assessee also relied before the Assessing Officer a
decision of Hon'ble ITAT, Mumbai Bench in the case of ACIT vs. 5 ITA 610 & 611/JP/2012_ DCIT Vs. Basant Bansal
Bhaumik Colour Pvt. Ltd. (2009) 118 ITD 1 (Mum) (SB). As per the
Assessing Officer's finding, the case law is not squarely applicable on
the assessee's case as the assessee is a registered share holder in both
the companies having minimum share holding as required by the law to
be held deemed dividend U/s 2(22)(e) of the Act. He further relied on
the decision in the case of CIT Vs. Hotel Hiltop, 313 ITR 116 of Hon'ble
Rajasthan High Court wherein it has been held that deemed dividend
would be deemed dividend in the hands of the beneficial owner and not
the concern. The assessee's argument was also not found convincing to
the Assessing Officer that so called loan and advance is not itself a loan
but repayable on demand, the assessee's case is covered U/s 2(22)(e)
of the Act. M/s Misty Meadows Pvt. Ltd. have accumulated profit of Rs.
86,41,329.39 other than share premium reserve of Rs. 99,50,000/-. As
such case of the assessee is within the four corners of section 2(22)(e).
Therefore, the amount of Rs. 25,25,000/- advanced by M/s Misty
Meadows Pvt. Ltd. to M/s Benchmark Infotech Pvt. Ltd. was considered
to be deemed dividend and made the addition of Rs. 25.25 lacs.
It is further held that Rs. 9 crores had been advanced by M/s
Manglam Multiplex Pvt. Ltd. to M/s Benchmark Infotech Pvt. Ltd.. Shri 6 ITA 610 & 611/JP/2012_ DCIT Vs. Basant Bansal
Basant Bansal held 74% shares of M/s Manglam Multiplex Pvt. Ltd. and
50% of M/s Benchmark Infotech Pvt. Ltd. during the year 2006-07.
Similarly, Roop Bansal also held 12% of M/s Manglam Multiplex Pvt.
Ltd. and 50% shares of M/s Benchmark Infotech Pvt. Ltd. during the
said period. Both the persons held more than 10% shares each in M/s
Manglam Multiplex Pvt. Ltd. and more than 20% shares in M/s
Benchmark Infotech Pvt. Ltd., which had received the advance of Rs. 9
crores. Accumulated profit of M/s Manglam Multiplex Pvt. Ltd. as on
31/3/2007 was Rs. 2,11,71,118.50 against the amount of 9 crores paid
by M/s Manglam Multiplex Pvt. Ltd. to M/s Benchmark Infotech Pvt. Ltd.
was considered to be dividend paid to Shri Basant Bansal and Shri Roop
Bansal in equal proportion in view of the provisions of Section 2(22)(e)
of the Act. The Assessing Officer also sought clarification from the
assessee, which has been availed by him. The identical reply was also
submitted against this query by the assessee before the Assessing
Officer. The assessee submitted that these are business transactions
between the companies and cannot be treated as deemed dividend U/s
2(22)(e) of the Act. The assessee relied on the following case laws:-
(i) CIT Vs. Badiani P.K. (Bom) 076 ITR 369 7 ITA 610 & 611/JP/2012_ DCIT Vs. Basant Bansal
(ii) CIT vs. Rajkumar (Delhi High Court) 318 ITR 426
After considering the assessee's reply, the ld Assessing Officer held that
accumulated profit was Rs. 15,71,118.50/- considered to be advanced
by M/s Manglam Multiplex Pvt. Ltd. to M/s Benchmark Infotech Pvt.
Ltd., which has been considered by the Assessing Officer for deemed
dividend in the hands of the assessee and Shri Roop Bansal equally.
Accordingly he made addition of Rs. 7,85,559/- U/s 2(22)(e) of the Act.
In A.Y. 2008-09, it was noticed by the Assessing Officer that in
case of M/s Martial Buildcon Pvt. Ltd. that M/s Misty Meadows Pvt. Ltd
had paid Rs. 8 crores to M/s Martial Buildcon Pvt. Ltd. on 08/3/2008,
which has been paid back by M/s Martial Buildcon Pvt. Ltd. on
26/03/2008. Shri Basant Bansal held 34% of M/s Martial Buildcon Pvt.
Ltd. and 18.80% shares of M/s Misty Meadows Pvt. Ltd. during the year
2007-08, which means that the assessee held more than 10% shares in
M/s Misty Meadows Pvt. Ltd. which has extended the advance and held
more than 20% shares of M/s Martial Buildcon Pvt. Ltd., the
accumulated profit as on 31/3/2008 at Rs. 1,13,26,629.58/-.
Accordingly, he treated the deemed dividend to the extent of
accumulated profit in the hands of the assessee. A show cause notice 8 ITA 610 & 611/JP/2012_ DCIT Vs. Basant Bansal
was given by the Assessing Officer to the assessee, which has been
replied by him and considered by the Assessing Officer. The assessee
submitted before the Assessing Officer that 99.95 lacs was in the share
premium account, which is not available for dividend. The ld Assessing
Officer held that if the assessee's contention is accepted even after
reducing share premium account from the accumulated profit, the
remaining amount would be Rs. 13,76,629. The assessee's argument
before the Assessing Officer that these transactions does not fall within
the definition of loan and advances as the loan is repayable on demand
by the lender. However, these submissions were not found convincing
to him as these transactions are covered U/s 2(22(e) of the Act. The
submissions before the Assessing Officer is that these transactions are
business transactions between M/s Martial Buildcon (P) Ltd. and M/s
Manglam Multiplex Pvt. Ltd. but the Assessing Officer asked to file copy
of the sale deed of land to prove the business transaction made by
these companies were not submitted in either cases. The assessee
party has not advanced any evidence to prove that these transactions
are business transactions between M/s Manglam Multiplex Pvt. Ltd. to
M/s Martial Buildcon (P) Ltd. for purchase of land. The assessee also 9 ITA 610 & 611/JP/2012_ DCIT Vs. Basant Bansal
relied upon various case laws before the A.O. on deemed
dividend/business transactions. The cases are as under:-
(i) CIT Vs. Badiani P.K. (Bom) (supra)
(ii) CIT vs. Rajkumar (Delhi High Court) (supra)
There was accumulated profit at Rs. 33,42,604/- has been considered
to be advanced by the M/s Mangalam Multiplex Pvt. Ltd. to M/s Martial
Buildcon Pvt. Ltd. and as such Rs. 33,42,604/- has been considered as
deemed dividend in the hands of the assessee and Shri Roop Bansal. As
such ½ of Rs. 33,42,604/- i.e. Rs. 16,71,302/- was added to the income
of the assessee as deemed dividend. The ld Assessing Officer further
noticed that in case of M/s Martial Buildcon Pvt. Ltd. that M/s B&B
Mercantile Pvt. Ltd. had paid Rs. 80,46,100/- to M/s Martial Buildcon
Pvt. Ltd. as on 04/02/2008, which has been paid back by M/s Martial
Buildcon Pvt. Ltd. on 25/03/2008. Shri Basant Bansal and Shri Roop
Bansal held 34% and 33% shares of M/s Martial Buildcon Pvt. Ltd.
respectively and 50% each of M/s B&B Mercantile Pvt. Ltd. during the
year 2007-08. As such Shri Basant Bansal and Shri Roop Bansal held
more than 10% shares in M/s B&B Mercantile Pvt. Ltd. which has given
the loan and held more than 20% shares of M/s Martial Buildcon Pvt.
10 ITA 610 & 611/JP/2012_ DCIT Vs. Basant Bansal
Ltd., which had received the advance. Therefore, the Assessing Officer
held that the amount of Rs. 80,46,100/- paid by M/s B&B Mercantile
Pvt. Ltd. to M/s Martial Buildcon Pvt. Ltd. was considered to be dividend
paid to Shri Basant Bansal and Shri Roop Bansal in equal proportion in
view of the provisions of section 2(22)(e) of the Act. The Assessing
Officer gave reasonable opportunity of being heard and assessee also
replied in response to notice. After considering the assessee's reply, the
ld Assessing Officer held that the assessee had relied upon the decision
of ITAT, Mumbai Bench (SB) in case of ACIT Vs. Bhaumik Colour Pvt.
Ltd. (supra), which is not squarely applicable in the case of assessee as
the assessee is a registered share holder and beneficial owner of the
share. In Bhaumiks colour Pvt. Ltd. case, the common share holder is a
trust. Share certificates are in the name of the Trustees. Thus the
registered holders are the trustees, whereas the beneficial owners are
the beneficiaries of the Trust. Hence, the primary condition for invoking
section 2(22)(e) is not fulfilled and consequently, section 2(22)(e) does
not apply to the case of ACIT Vs. Bhaumik Colour Pvt. Ltd. (supra) as
held by the Special Bench ITAT, Mumbai. In case of Basant Bansal
(assessee), there is no ambiguity as he is the registered share holder of
both the companies with share holding of 50% in M/s B&B Mercantile 11 ITA 610 & 611/JP/2012_ DCIT Vs. Basant Bansal
Pvt. Ltd. and 34% shares holding in M/s Martial Buildcom Pvt. Ltd.. He
is also a beneficial owner. It has more than 20% shares in the advance
recipient company i.e. M/s Martial Buildcom Pvt. Ltd. and the shares
held by Shri Basant Bansal are entitled to dividend. He further relied on
the decision of Hon'ble Rajasthan High Court in the case of Hotel Hiltop
(supra). He further considered the assessee's argument that sale
proceeds of agricultural land are to be treated capital reserve and not
eligible for distribution of dividend as the appellant in the case of share
premium account but the Assessing Officer held that these proceeds
also part of the profit. Therefore, this is a case of deemed dividend U/s
2(22)(e) of the Act. He further considered the assessee's argument that
these transactions between both the companies were business
transactions and the ld Assessing Officer found that the assessee failed
to file the copy of consultation-cum-development agreement entered
with both the companies to support the claim. He also considered the
case laws submitted by the assessee, which was not found squarely
applicable in the case of assessee particularly CIT Vs. Badiani PK and
CIT Vs. Rajkumar (supra). It has been held that amount of Rs.
80,46,100/- advanced by M/s B&B Mercantile Pvt. Ltd. to M/s Martial
Buildcon Pvt. Ltd. and as such covered U/s 2(22)(e) of the Act in the 12 ITA 610 & 611/JP/2012_ DCIT Vs. Basant Bansal
hands of the assessee and Shri Roop Bansal. Being ½ of Rs.
80,46,100/- i.e. Rs. 40,23,050/- has been held as deemed dividend in
the hands of the assessee. The same has been added in the income of
the assessee.
3. Being aggrieved by the order of the Assessing Officer, the
assessee carried the matter before the learned CIT(A), who had allowed
the appeal for A.Y. 2007-08 by observing that the assessee has filed
additional evidence before him, the same has been remanded back and
report has been called for and the ld Assessing Officer has not rebutted
the submission made by the assessee, therefore, the additional
evidence was considered for disposal of appeal before the ld CIT(A). As
regards addition of Rs. 25.25 lacs made U/s 2(22)(e) of the Act on the
ground that M/s Misty Meadows Pvt. Ltd. had made payment of Rs.
25.25 lacs to M/s Benchmark Infotech Pvt. Ltd. during the year under
consideration, which has been received back on 22/3/2007. It is
undisputed that Shri Basant Bansal, the appellant is holding more than
10% of share in M/s Misty Meadows Pvt. Ltd. and is also holding more
than 20% shares if M/s Benchmark Infotech Pvt. Ltd.. As per decision of
Hon'ble Jurisdictional High Court in the case of CIT Vs. Hotel Hiltop 13 ITA 610 & 611/JP/2012_ DCIT Vs. Basant Bansal
(supra), deemed dividend would be added in the hands of beneficial
owner and not in the hands of the concern. The Assessing Officer was
justified in considering it in the hands of appellant. The Assessing
Officer has also appreciated the fact of accumulated profit in remand
report. The ld Assessing Officer considered the MOU between M/s Misty
Meadows Pvt. Ltd. and M/s Benchmark Infotech Pvt. Ltd. and had not
rebutted the submission of the assessee that these transactions were
not made for business purposes. He further relied upon the following
decisions:-
(i) CIT Vs. Creative Dyeing and Printing P. Ltd. (2009) 318 ITR 476 (Del).
(ii) CIT Vs. Ambassador Travels Pvt. Ltd. (2009) 318 ITR 376 (Del).
(iii) CIT Vs. Raj Kumar (2009) 318 ITR 462 (Del)
(iv) Pradeep Kumar Malhotra s. CIT (2011) 338 ITR 538 (Cal).
The ld CIT(A) held that these payments were not loan or advances
fallen within Section 2(22)(e) of the Act but payment for proposed
purchase of land and are usual business transaction. Therefore, he
deleted the addition made by the Assessing Officer to the extent of Rs.
25.25 lacs.
14 ITA 610 & 611/JP/2012_ DCIT Vs. Basant Bansal
Regarding deletion of addition of Rs. 7,85,559/-, the ld CIT(A)
has held that after considering the addition evidence filed before him in
form of MOU between M/s Mangalam Multiplex Pvt. Ltd. and M/s
Benchmark Infotech Pvt. Ltd reflected that M/s Mangalam Multiplex Pvt.
Ltd. entered into collaboration of Joint Development of the land with
M/s Benchmark Infotech Pvt. Ltd. under the terms of which a sum of
Rs. 9 cores was paid to M/s benchmark Infotech Pvt. Ltd. for payment
of license fee/scrutiny fee/other charges. The collaboration for joint
development is further evidenced by a copy of form LC-1 filed to
Director Town and Country Planning Development of Haryana
Government which is an application for granting development license.
The A.O. in the remand report, has verified these facts and has
mentioned the same. The A.O. has not given any adverse comments on
these points and also particularly on the claim of the AR that these
documents established that the payment of Rs. 9 cores was made not
as an advance or loan but for the purpose of business i.e. for joint
development of land between M/s Mangalam Multiplex Pvt. Ltd. and M/s
Benchmark Infotech Pvt. Ltd. Therefore, the ld. CIT(A) deleted the
addition.
15 ITA 610 & 611/JP/2012_ DCIT Vs. Basant Bansal
Regarding deletion of addition of Rs. 13,76,629/-, Rs. 16,71,302/-
and Rs. 40,23,050/- in A.Y. 2008-09 the ld. CIT(A) has held as under:-
"4.10 I have considered the submission of ld. A.R., remand report of present A.O., counter comments of A.R. and further submissions as well as material available on record. In the remand report, after examination of the additional evidences, the A.O. has not made any adverse comments on the argument of the A.R. that the transactions between
(i) M/s Misty & M/s Martial, (ii) M/s Mangalam and M/s Martial and (iii) M/s B.B. Mercantile and M/s Martial are not of lender and borrower which are covered u/s 2(22)(e) and are rather commercial business transactions. In brief, A.O. has not objected to the argument of A.R. that M/s Misty entered into agreement with M/s Martial for purchase of 100 kanals of land at agreed consideration of Rs. 40 crores against which a sum of Rs. 8 crore was given as intial payment by m/s Misty to M/s Martial and thus it was not an advance within the meaning of section 2(22)9e) but was initial payment for purchase of land. Similarly the A.O. has also not made any adverse comments, after considering the additional evidence in the form of agreement, on the argument of the A.R. that M/s Mangalam made initial payment of Rs. 8.4 crore for purchase of 100 kanals of land for total consideration of Rs. 42 crores as per the agreement filed (wherein as Rs. 33.42 lakhs was the
16 ITA 610 & 611/JP/2012_ DCIT Vs. Basant Bansal
accumulated profit of M/s Mangalam, Rs. 16.71 lakhs was added in the hands of both the assessees.
4.11 Similarly after examination of additional evidence being an MOU between M/s B.B. and M/s Martial by the A.O., the A.O. has not made any adverse comments on the argument of A.R. regarding payment being in furtherance of business transaction as per the MOU between the two A.O. has also mentioned that the case of M/s Martial was under scrutiny and no adverse inference was drawn by the then A.O. in regard to these payments.
4.12 Considering the facts and in the circumstances of the case as discussed hereinabove, material available on record including the additional evidence and also the remand report of the A.O., it is held that none of these three payments namely (i) payment made by M/s Misty to M/s Martial (leading to addition of Rs. 13,76,629/-), (ii) payment made by M/s Mangalam to M/s martial (leading to addition of Rs. 16,71,302/- in the case of Shri Basant Bansal and Shri Roop Bansal both) and (iii) payment made by M/s B.B. to M/s Martial (leading to addition of Rs. 40,23,050/- in each of the case of Shri Basant Bansal and Shri Roop Bansal) can be treated to be covered U/s 2(22)9e) of the Act in view of the various judicial pronouncements as discussed while deciding the similar issue in A.Y. 2007-08 as above. Accordingly, additions of 17 ITA 610 & 611/JP/2012_ DCIT Vs. Basant Bansal
Rs. 13,76,629/-, Rs. 16,71,302/- and Rs. 40,23,050/- made in A.Y. 2008-09 are hereby deleted."
4. Now the Revenue are in appeals before us. The learned C.I.T.
D.R. vehemently supported the order of the Assessing Officer.
5. At the outset, the learned A.R. for the assessee supported the
order of the ld CIT(A). He further submitted that whatever advances
considered by the ld Assessing Officer for the purpose of deemed
dividend were transactions for business purposes. All the evidences had
been filed before the ld CIT(A). The ld CIT(A) has called remand
report from the Assessing Officer also on these evidences, which has
not been controverted by him that these transactions were loan and
advances as envisaged in Section 2(22)(e) of the Act. Every debt does
not involve a loan, the principle that has been laid down is that in
Section 2(22)(e) of the Act applies to gratuitous loan or advances. He
further relied the case laws referred by the ld CIT(A) on page No. 26
and 27 of his order and prayed to dismiss the appeal of the revenue.
6. We have heard the rival contentions of both the parties and
perused the material on record. The ld CIT(A) thoroughly examined the
issue in detail after admitted the additional evidence and calling the
remand report from the Assessing Officer. He held that these 18 ITA 610 & 611/JP/2012_ DCIT Vs. Basant Bansal
transactions made between the companies for business purposes, which
does not form part of loan and advances as envisages in Section
2(22)(e) of the Act. The ld DR has not controverted the findings given
by the ld CIT(A). The case laws relied upon by the A.R. are squarely
applicable on the case of assessee, therefore, we do not find any
reason to intervene in the order of ld CIT(A). Accordingly, we uphold
the order of ld. CIT(A)
7. In the result, both the revenue's appeals are dismissed.
Order pronounced in the open court on 23/04/2015.
