24 January 2012 YES IT WOULD BE LIABLE TO DDT AS THE FOREIGN RESIDENT IS HAVING THE INCOME FROM INDAIN COMPANY. SINCE THE SAID DIV IS A RESULT OF INCOME ACCRUED IN INDIA HENCE IT COMES UNDER THE AMBIT OF TAXATION IN INDIA. IRRESPECTIVE OF THE RESIDENTIAL STATUS OF THE RECEIPENT.. REFER SEC 9 OF HE INCOME TAX ACT

24 January 2012 Dividend paid by an Indian Company is a Dividend as referred to in Section 115-O , is exempt from tax vide Section 10(34) for all the assessees.
.

Vide sub-section Section 115C(c) , it is not treated as Investment Income even though it may be arising due to investment made in foreign exchange.
