Pathik Constructions, Mumbai vs Department Of Income Tax on 13 February, 2015

has received loan from the group company in both the years but
the factor is to decide the issue whether it is covered under the
provisions of section 2(22)(e) is to prove that whether it was a
business transaction. To answer this question, it is very clear
from the Finance Agreement submitted by the AR of the

the Hon'ble Courts in case of (i) CIT vs. Rajkumar (318 ITR 462),
