Dividend declared by the company ( Interim/final) received in the hands of the shareholder is not taxable. The liabilty to tax is in the hands of the company which has to pay the dividend distribution tax. Even if the company defaultsin paying DDT, dividend received by shareholder would continue to be non taxable.
