Quick Summary

Following the Finance Act 2020, dividend taxation has reverted to the classical system, meaning dividends are now taxed in the hands of shareholders and unit holders from April 1, 2020. This change abolished Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT), which was previously levied on the company. Consequently, any dividend income received from schemes like the HDFC Balanced Advantage Fund is now taxable under Income From Other Sources (IFOS) from Assessment Year 2021-22 onwards.
