29 August 2016 Budget 2016 has introduced an amendment as a result of which if the dividend received by an individual/HUF is more than Rs. 10 Lakhs – then tax @ 10% would be liable to be paid by the person receiving such dividend.
No tax is payable by the person receiving the payment, if the total dividend received by an individual/HUF during the
financial year is less than Rs. 10 Lakhs.

Refer Section 115BBDA:
