u/s 115BBDA Dividend income from domestic company is exempt upto Rs. 10 lakhs, but is taxable over Rs. 10 lakhs @ 10%, under the head " Income from Other Sources" .
This section was introduced w.e.f. 01.04.2017. In order to remove the suspiciousness of Individuals , companies earning huge dividends and in order to boost more persons investing in these capital asset.
when companies are paying dividends after PAT, it means that amount is already suffered with tax. Why an individual need to pay tax on dividends. Is not doubling the tax.
There is no scope of double taxation except where dividend received from a foreign company which is taxed in India and that country too...here taxpayer can claim DOuble taxation relief
