DDT will be for (40lacs-24lacs)*DDT rate..

 

24lacs is arrived by dividend amount i.e. Rs.30 lacs* shareholding % i.e. 80%

 

If S ltd holds holds 52% in Gltd... then 52% of dividend declared by G ltd.  will be allowed to be reduced from dividend payment by S ltd.

 

Refer Section 115-O(1A) of the Income Tax Act,1961, DDT payable by G Ltd will be INR 2.5956 Lacs((40-24)*16.2225%). S Ltd will get credit for dividend received from G Ltd if it has been received by the S Ltd in the same year in which S Ltd has declared the dividend
