However, in case your whole taxable revenue exceeds the brink beneath the respective tax regime, you’ll have to pay tax from the preliminary tax exemption restrict in your dividends. In case you go for the expansion choice, the short-term capital positive aspects on the fairness scheme would get taxed at a flat 15% whereas long-term capital positive aspects on fairness schemes will get taxed at a flat price of 10% past the preliminary exemption of 1 lakhs. In case you may have invested in debt schemes the short-term positive aspects will probably be taxed like your dividend revenue however for long-term capital positive aspects you’ll get the advantage of indexation and a flat price of 20% will apply on long-term capital positive aspects after lowering the listed value from the redemption worth.
