14 January 2008 Sec 194 is inserted in the Income Tax Act for deduction of Tax from dividends paid by an Indian Comapny or any company who has made an arrangement for paymnet of dividend in India at the rates in force.

This deduction is made from any payment made to a shareholder, therefore if that shareholder is a local authority the same will also be eligible for deduction.

However,there is a proviso that no such deduction u/s 194 shall be made in respect of any dividends if the company has paid a DDT as per sec 115O
