Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies exempt income for the assessment year 2021-22. While PPF interest continues to be tax-exempt, dividend income from equity and mutual funds is now generally taxable. Previously tax-free dividends are subject to TDS if they exceed certain thresholds, and should be included in your total income.

Ppf interest in exempt income
Lic also
Ppf Interest is exempt income.

dividend from mutual funds are tax free
Yes these are exempt income.
But tax deducted from many mutual fund dividends which is showing in 26AS form.

As DDT has now been abolished, I think dividend income is taxable. TDS @ 10% when it exceeds Rs.5000.

No dividends are exempt now. ppf continues to be exempt.

Dividend received in not tax free above 5K. Bank interest is also tax free till certain limit, PPF Interest will continue tax free income maybe life time.
