Calculate precise dividend income and post-tax yields for your Indian stock portfolio.
Since April 1, 2020, the Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT) has been abolished at the company level. Dividends are now taxed in the hands of the investors.
Dividends are added to your total income for the financial year and taxed according to your individual income tax slab rate (e.g., 5%, 20%, or 30%). This means a high-dividend stock may be less attractive for investors in the 30% tax bracket compared to those in the lower brackets.
Companies are required to deduct TDS at 10% if the total dividend paid to an individual shareholder exceeds ₹5,000 in a financial year. You can claim this TDS as a credit when filing your ITR.
Dividend Yield measures the cash return you get for every rupee invested. While a high yield is great, investors should also check the Dividend Payout Ratioto ensure the company isn't paying out more than it earns.
Many PSUs (Public Sector Undertakings) like Coal India, IOC, and BPCL are known for offering some of the highest dividend yields on the NSE, often exceeding 6-8%.
