Here section 195 and sec 115O come into picture.
Section 195 which provides for deduction of TDS on payments to Non-Residents gives an exception wherein the dividends covered under section 115O are not liable for deduction of tax under section 195.
Section 115O is a code in itself and that provides for payment of Dividend Distibution Tax by Indian company and on dividends covered under section 115O there is exemption under section 10(34).
