As per section 123 , read with Dividend Rules , before declaration of dividend transfer the percentage of the profit in the general reserves
Company shall not declare dividend unless previous year loses and depriciation not provided in previous years or years are set off against the profit of the Company for the current year.

Th rate of dividend shall not exceed the average rate of dividend of the preeceding 3 years.

the total amount of dividend drawn from accumulated profit shall not exceed 1/10 of paid up capital and free reserves

the balance of reserves after withdrawl shall not fall below 15% of paid up share capital

and as per section 115 0 of the income tax act , the dividend paid to the holding company by domestic subsidiary company is exempt in the hands of shareholders. and if indian subsidiary company has paid CDT , then any dividend declared by holding company shall be reduced by such tax amount
