An easy way to remember how much dividend you can give is mentioned below:

Pre steps Dividend is to be given from C/Y profits, in case you need to take from GR then 4 Steps come into place

Step1 Dividend which can be given by Rate of Dividend matching to the Average Rate of Dividend of past 3 F/Ys

Step2 Lower of following can be given

10% of PUSC & FR
Equivalent amount after leaving 15% pf PUSC in FR

Step3 Deduct all losses from Step 2 whether P/Ys or C/Y

Step4 Take lower of Step 1 and 4

Post Steps Any balance can be taken from P&L Cr balance

A	B	C	D	E	F	G
200	100	100	-	-	-	-
200 can be given freely but if Dividend is more than 200 then Rule 3 kicks in and amount all the amount of 100 cannot be used.	Please note that if amount of Dividend to be declared is more than 100 then Rule 3 kicks in and amount all the amount of 100 of loss is to be adjusted.
