Dividend Income//OCI//Sec 80C//FYE 31 Mar 2023//AY 2023-24

Hello,

I'm an OCI with dividend income in India of ~ INR 225K. To my understanding  -

  • 100% of this dividend income is taxable @ 20% + cess etc etc.
  • I'm not eligible to claim standard deductions. 

The question that I have is, can I contribute to ELSS  and reduce taxes payable (by opting for the old scheme)?

Thank you for your time.

An OCI cardholder is liable for taxation on his/her global income and is subject to the conditions of DTAA.

Not eligible for any deductions from dividend income, including ELSS.
