Dear Bala Subramanyam,

Dividend distribution tax is levied on the company at the time of paying interim dividend or final dividend.The tax rate is 15% on the amount of dividend distributed.10% surcharge on the tax and 3% education cess (i.e 2% primary education cess and 1% secondary and higher educaiton cess) on tax + surcharge.The effective rate of tax turns out to be 16.995%.
