02 June 2010 Rs.1 cr limit should not be considered in case of dividends. Hence surcharge is applicable on any amount paid as divedends.

03 June 2010 Dividend distribution tax is to be paid when the dividend is declared or distributed or paid. hence if dividend is declared prior to 31.03.2010 the surcharge would be 10% if declared or paid after 1.4.2010 it will be 7.5%
