Hi All,

 

For Income Tax purpose Income from Dividends of indian company is not taxable from 1-4-2003 as The dividend distribution tax (DDT) will be payable by company/mutual fund u/s 115-O.However, deemed dividend as defined in section 2(22) of Income Tax Act will be considered as ‘income from other sources’. 

Can you tell me what exactly  deemed dividend means and how it is different from normal dividend.

Thanks,

Gokul.
