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

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.

Please note that even if 100 GR is used you would have to adjust the 100 loss also in Step 4 which will result in 0 dividend.
