These 3 items are receipts of capital nature so this is an addition to capital. So while preparing the financial statements , the capital account will get credited with these 3 items. However , while preparing the income tax return , all these 3 shall come under income from other sources.

Firstly, please clarify the nature of business of company of which you are making P/L account.

If the company is non-finance company the above mentioned interest and dividends should come under the heading of " Other Incomes"

If the company is of finance nature then it shall come under " revenue from operations"

Please wait for the response of expert or working professionals.
