Add Dividend Income

Companies distribute dividends to their shareholders as a share of their profits. The amount received depends on the number of shares held by the investor. For tax purposes, dividend income is classified under the head "Income from Other Sources."

Common Questions About Dividend Income

Can I claim expenses related to dividend income?
Yes. If you’ve taken a loan to purchase shares and earned dividend income, you can claim the interest paid on that loan as a deduction. However, the deduction is capped at 20% of the dividend income received.

Do I need to report dividend income including TDS?
Yes. If your dividend income exceeds ₹5,000, the company is required to deduct 10% TDS before making the payment.
When filing your tax return, you must report the gross dividend income (i.e., before TDS deduction). You can then claim credit for the TDS under the applicable section.
