Dividend can be paid out of past years profit ie reserves.
However it cannot be said that it is previous year's dividend.
Dividend declared in any year pertains to that year. The amount of dividend which requires assessment of eligible profits. If current year's profit falls short, it looks up for previous period's retained profits after depreciation.
