11 February 2012 ITR3. it is not dividend. But business income. If remuneration then taxable in India. If share of profit then exempt from tax.

13 March 2012 Vishal, can you please bring out the phrase in LRS scheme which allows Indian resident to form partnerships outside India.

Also LRS permits only those activities which are otherwise permitted under FEMA. Regulation 120 doesn't permit individuals to form partnerships outside India,hence the same can't be permitted under LRS.
