1) DDT has been abolished vide Finance Act 2020 and now shareholders are required to pay tax on dividends.
2) GST refund of OPC is part of the company. Refund will be given in case of excess payment of tax and that excess payment would have been made by OPC.

GST refund as such is not an income but interest received on GST refund is an income for the OPC.
