24 March 2010 The dividend you are talking about is the pre-acqusition dividend which is not your income as you where not holding the investment during that period (2008-09). More over the price of dividend is indirectly included in Rs.18 per share paid by you. Thus any amount relating to the preacqusition will reduce your cost.
