ITAT upheld the applicability of deemed dividend under section 2(22)(e) where a shareholder had the requisite shareholding, a debit balance appeared in the company's books, and the company had sufficient accumulated profits; the short duration of the debit balance did not alter its character as a shareholder advance or loan.
