In an investment account, a special dividend is treated as a distribution of a company's retained earnings, which is separate from its regular dividends. Special dividends are typically one-time or infrequent payments that a company makes to its shareholders in addition to its regular dividends.

Disbursement of dividend is basically a outflow being paid after approval in annual general meeting .
In that case it can be termed as debited to pl account.
