  • The normal rate of TDS is 10% on dividend income paid in excess of Rs 5,000 from a company or mutual fund. However, as a COVID-19 relief measure, the government reduced the TDS rate to 7.5% for distribution from 14 May 2020 until 31 March 2021.
  • The tax deducted will be available as a credit from the total tax liability of the taxpayer while filing ITR. 

WHOLE AMOUNT INCLUDING TDS IS GROSS DIVIDEND INCOME.
