0% of students got this wrong
EXPLANATION
As per the Finance Act 2020, IDCW (previously called dividend) from all mutual fund schemes — equity or debt — is taxable in the hands of investors at their applicable income tax slab rate. TDS at 10% is deducted by the AMC if IDCW paid to an investor exceeds ₹5,000 in a financial year (for resident Indians). IDCW was previously exempt under the DDT regime (pre-April 2020).
