In addition to this company is also required to obtain a Chartered Accountant's certificate in Form 15CB if payments to a non-resident shareholder made during the year exceeds INR 5 Lakhs. 5 No need to pay dividend distribution tax as it's taxable in the hands of share holders. 6 Any resident individual shareholder is in receipt of dividend exceeding Rs. 5,000 in a fiscal year, entire dividend will be subject to TDS @ 10%.
