I understand the question is about receipt of dividend by NRI in his bank account in India from foreign company by a non-resident .Ideally the same should not be taxable in India but the ITO may try to tax the same under sec. 5 on receipt basis which provides that any income of non-resident which "is received or is deemed to be received in India in such year by or on behalf of such person ;.

In my view dividend accrues or arises at the place where the dividend is declared or the Company declaring dividend is situated, therefore in present case it should not be taxable in India.
