A company or mutual fund also deducts tax at source (TDS) of 10% when the dividend to one investor from one company or scheme goes above \u20b910,000 in a year and the full amount is still reported in the income tax return (ITR) whether or not tax was deducted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dividend income tax in India has changed in years. Dividend distribution tax was abolished from 1 April 2020 so the tax moved from the company to the investor the TDS threshold was raised from \u20b95,000 to \u20b910,000 from 1 April 2025 and the deduction for interest paid on money borrowed to invest was withdrawn from 1 April 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_dividends_are_taxed_for_different_investors\"><\/span>How dividends are taxed for different investors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Recipient<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Rate of tax<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">TDS<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Resident<\/td><td>Slab rate as income from other sources<\/td><td>10% when dividend from one company or scheme exceeds \u20b910,000 in a year<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Resident individual without a Permanent Account Number (PAN)<\/td><td>Slab rate<\/td><td>20% when dividend exceeds \u20b910,000 in a year<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Non-resident Indian (NRI)<\/td><td>20% plus surcharge and cess or a lower rate under a tax treaty<\/td><td>20% plus surcharge and cess with a lower rate possible under a treaty<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Surcharge on dividend income is capped at 15%, whatever the total income.

Receives \u20b914,400. The full \u20b916,000 counts as income for the year and is taxed at the investors slab rate and the \u20b91,600 already deducted is credited against that tax.

That deduction has been withdrawn from 1 April 2026 under the Income-tax Act, 2025 so dividend income is now taxed on the amount with no deduction for interest or other costs such as brokerage and demat charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dividend_or_growth_option_in_a_mutual_fund\"><\/span>Dividend or growth option in a mutual fund<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Feature<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">IDCW option<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Growth option<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>What the investor receives<\/td><td>payouts, which come out of the funds value<\/td><td>No payouts with the gains staying in the funds value<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>When tax arises<\/td><td>Each payout is taxed at the slab rate in that year<\/td><td>Tax arises only on redemption at capital gains rates<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>TDS<\/td><td>10% above \u20b910,000 per scheme in a year<\/td><td>None on the growth itself<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Effect for a higher slab investor<\/td><td>The slab rate on every payout can be higher than the capital gains rate<\/td><td>Equity gains are taxed at 12.5% above \u20b91.25 lakh a year for units held more than 12 months<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_report_dividend_income_in_the_ITR\"><\/span>How to report dividend income in the ITR<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Step<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">What happens<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>1.

Dividends below \u20b910,000 from a company are still taxable. Must be reported and the slab rate decides how much of each payout is kept. For investors in slabs the growth option of a mutual fund can leave more after tax than payouts since tax is deferred until redemption and charged at the lower capital gains rate for long holdings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kuvera offers mutual funds and the tax statements and gains reports available through such platforms help match dividends with Form 26AS and the AIS before filing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1.
