Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax treatment of company dividends received in the current financial year, even if earned in previous years. Dividends are classified as 'income from other sources'. If dividends distributed on or after April 1, 2020, exceed £10 lakh, the excess is taxable, and you are liable to pay tax on it. While expenses incurred to earn the dividend can be deducted, there are generally no deductions for reinvesting the income. You can claim credit for any Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) against your tax liability.

It is income from other sources

the provisions of Section 115-O shall not be applicable if the dividend is distributed on or after 01-04-2020. Thus, if the dividend is distributed on or after 01-04- 2020 the domestic companies shall not liable to pay DDT and, consequently, shareholders shall be liable to pay tax on such dividend income. So from that date you will pay taxes from your end. I’m assuming this because you must be receiving dividends every year and there is TDS on your income. 

The only dividend deductions available is expenses related to raise that dividend income. I did not see any claims available for reinvestment of your income.

If dividend exceeds 10 lakhs, excess is taxable under IFOS.

Txs.. I read that section but dividend is already received annually and TDS was collected isn’t it and besides he is not selling it.

From CURRENT PY it will be taxable. mean taxable from AY 21-22
Even though you are not selling it , but Income from Dividend arises theron. Same is taxable in excess of 10 lakh.

Pay tax theron and claim TDS deducted
