Upto 30.09.2014, the tax rate of 15% was applied on the actual dividend distributed. But w.e.f. 1.10.2014 the amt of divident distributed shall be presumed as 85% and shall be grossed up to 100% then 15% shall be applied on such gross amount. for example:
Dividend distribeted = 100
Grossing up of dididend [100/85*100]= 117.65
DDT @ 15% on 117.65=17.65
ADD:surcharge @ 10%=1.76
ADD:edu. cess @ 3%=0.58
So, in short u have to applied effective tax rate of 19.994% on Rs.100 but however subject to reduction as per sec 115-O(1A) on dividend received from subsidiary.

The above calculation does not include the surcharge & cess while grossing up.
The actual calculation would be
Dividend to be distributed = 100
Dividend distribution tax inclusive of surcharge & cess = 17.304% (DDT 15%, Surcharge 12% & cess 3%)
Grossing up of dividend [100/82.696*100]= 120.9248
Now apply DDT @ 17.304% on 120.9248 = 20.9248 (DDT to be paid)
So now the the net distribution would remain be Rs. 100 & effective DDT tax rate would be 20.9248
I hope this would clarify the query

I have to confirm that, is education cess and surchage should be included while grossing up or it would be added after grossing up.

Rate of DDT is 15%. However the catch here is that it is to be computed on "grossing up" basis. So if a company has to declare dividend of Rs 100,000. Instead of Rs 15000 DDT, the tax would be calculated by [15% / (100%-15%)] X 10,000 ; which comes out to Rs 17,647. Plus a surcharge of 12% & cess of 3% will also be charged on it. So total tax outgo = Rs 20,357.58
That is why, often it is said that the effective rate of DDT is 20.358%

Dvidend Distribution Tax U/s 115O 15%+12%Surcharge+3% Education Cess = 17.304% Subject to Grossing Up
Grossing Up of DDT 100/(100-17.304)*17.304 = 20.925% Effective Rate
On 100 Rs Dividend DDT U/s 115O is 20.925 Rs.
