Finance Act, 2020 has amended the provisions of section 194 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Now, it provides for TDS on Dividend income declared, distributed and paid by a domestic company which was earlier exempt from income tax under section 10(34). This is subsequent to the abolishment of DDT (dividend distribution tax) on the dividend amount declared by a domestic company. Let us understand section 194 for better compliances.
All of us love “dividends”. Many of us, our friends, relatives etc buy shares of big companies with the aim to earn good returns in the form of share price hikes as well as dividends. The dividend is simply an equity (and preference) shareholders profit share in the company and section 194 calls for the deduction of tax on such dividend income given to shareholders.
A principal officer of a company, which is in the process of declaring dividends (equity or preference or both) in India, is required to deduct tax on dividend covered in the sub-clause (a) or (b) or (c) or (d) or (e) of clause 22 of section 2. But from 1.4.2003, this provision of TDS will only be applicable on dividend as per section 2(22)(e) as dividends covered u/s 2(22)(a) or (b) or (c) or (d) are exempt in the hands of the shareholders.
The rate under this section is 10%. TDS will be deducted at time of payment(via cash, cheque, draft etc) or credit, whichever is earlier.
No tax deduction will be made u/s 194 in case of shareholder (who is an individual), when:
Dividend includes any distribution by a company of accumulated profits, whether capitalized or not if such distribution entails the release by the company to its shareholders of all or any part of the assets of the company.

Dividend includes any distribution to its shareholders by a company on the reduction of its capital to the extent to which the company possesses accumulated profits, whether capitalized or not.
