Dividend Distribution Tax Evolution

India abolished DDT in 2020, fundamentally changing corporate distributions.

Previously, company paid tax on dividends. Now, recipient pays tax on dividends received.

This shifted tax burden and changed planning strategies entirely.

Corporate distributions now require considering recipient's tax slab, residential status, treaty benefits, timing.

Same dividend, distributed to different recipients or through different structures, creates wildly different tax outcomes.

Have you adapted strategy post-DDT abolition?
