Brijesh ji, Thanks. Although you have changed your earlier view yet it had been helpful. According to your new suggestion, the capital gains would be chargeable on the money/assets received as reduced by the dividend. The dividend such calculated would also be taxable if the company is not paying DDT. Am I right in this?
