What is CIT v. P.K. Badiani authority for?
A payment by a company to an assessee is a loan, and therefore potentially a deemed dividend, only if the company becomes a creditor of the assessee for that amount at the time of payment. If the company is already indebted to the assessee, the payment is merely a repayment of an existing debt.
