19 February 2008 When the owner's right to receive is established, the receipt can be recognised. If the dividend was declared in AGM, then you can be said to have a right to receive the dividend. If it is only in the Board meeting, you will have to wait till it is confirmed by AGM.

19 February 2008 Mr Vilas as the dividend is received in the financial year 2007-08, you cannot treat the same as income in the year 2006-07

19 February 2008 As per AS 9 dividend can be recognised as income in the year in which the right to receive the same is established. As per mercantile system also an income is said to accrue when the right to the same has arisen .In your case the right has arisen/established in the financeial year 2007-2008 and such the income will be recognised in that year only .
