VMware Inc is a US based, NYSE listed listed multinational. It has issued a special dividend to its shareholders. The special dividend is to spin off VMWare from Dell Inc.
VMware currently estimates that, for federal tax purposes, 39.49% of the Special Dividend will be
treated as a taxable dividend, with the other 60.51% of the Special Dividend being first treated as a return on capital to stockholders to the extent of their basis in VMware common stock, and
thereafter as capital gain.

Here is the doubt: A resident Indian taxpayer, holding VMware shares ESOPs, receives INR 100/- as special dividend as described above. Does all INR 100 needs to be treated as dividend income and taxed at slab rate? Or INR 39.49/- and INR 60.51/- are to be treated differently for taxation purpose? If so, exactly how the tax is supposed to be computed?
