Taxability of Dividend Income The taxability of dividend income from mutual funds depends on the type of mutual fund and the dividend payout.

Dividend Income Taxation - *Tax-Free Dividend*: Dividends from equity-oriented mutual funds are generally tax-free in the hands of the recipient, as the dividend payout is made out of post-tax profits. -

*Taxable Dividend*: Dividends from debt-oriented or other types of mutual funds might be taxable, depending on the specific provisions of the Income-tax Act.

 Your Situation Given your retirement and expected dividend income of ₹6.5 lakh per year from mutual funds, with no other income: -

 *Tax-Free Dividend*: If the dividend income is from equity-oriented mutual funds, it is likely tax-free. -

 *Taxable Income*: If the dividend income is from other types of mutual funds, it might be taxable. Important Considerations -

*Type of Mutual Fund*: Determine the type of mutual fund generating the dividend income to ascertain tax implications. - 

*Tax Exemption*: Verify if any tax exemptions are applicable to your situation. Conclusion To determine the taxability of your dividend income: - 

*Check Mutual Fund Type*: Confirm the type of mutual fund generating the dividend income. -

I don't think dividend from equity mutual funds are exempt any more.

 

According to me all dividends are taxable now.
