..... details of shareholders of M/s Godwin Construction (P) Ltd. Since this detail was not produced during the course of assessment proceedings inspite of the facts that the same was asked to be produced, there is no reason why this detail should be admitted at the appellate stage. This detail is clearly an additional evidence, the submission of which, is not covered under any exception to rule 46A. It is thus held that the AO has rightly understood the appellant to be holding more than 10% of equity shares of M/s Godwin Construction (P) Ltd. 3. That my shareholding in M/s Godwin Construction (P) Ltd. was 9% in Assessment Years 2006-07, 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12 and not 50% as alleged by | the AO and CIT(A). 4. That during the course of assessment proceedings, AO did not confront me with regard to the addition sought to be made u/s 2(22)(e) of I.T. Act i.e. deemed dividend in respect of lean received from M/s Godwin Construction. 1. That the learned CIT(A) erred both on facts and in law in sustaining disallowance to the extent of 10% as against 25% by the Assessing Officer out of the total expenditure of ₹ 81,50,92,376/- incurred bonafidely by th .....

..... ares of M/s Godwin Construction (P) Ltd and therefore the provisions of section 2(22)(e) of the Act were applicable. The same were confirmed by the ld. CIT(A). 9. We have considered the rival arguments made by both the sides, perused the orders of the A.O and the ld. CIT(A) and the paper book filed on behalf of the assessee. It was argued by the ld. counsel for the assessee that the Assessing Officer holding that the appellant held 50% beneficial holding in the company namely M/s Godwin Construction Pvt. Ltd. assessed an amount of ₹ 4,89,740/- as deemed dividend u/s 2(22)(e) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The amount of ₹ 4,89,740/- has been stated by the A.O. as having been received as loans advances by the appellant during the year from the said company. On the above facts, it was prayed that the shareholding of the appellant was only 9% i.e. it was less than 10% of the total shareholding of the company and therefore no deemed dividend is assessable in the hands of the appellant in terms of that section because to make assessment of deemed dividend in the hands of shareholder, it is a condition precedent that he should hold 10% of the voting power in the company. A .....
