Hi, My uncle is a managing director of a Pvt Ltd Company.  His is receiving Dividend of 50 Lakhs from the company. Dividend Distribution Tax has been paid by the company.  Is this dividend income is fully exempted for my uncle or if he needs to show this in his return and pay income tax?

if dividend is received against shares hold by him, then tax free, but u have to disclose the same in return as tax free dividend

as the amount is significant high, i clarified that it its for share in company then exempted, but every receipt can not be dividend, so if anything else, then asked to share...................
