Dividend taxability- Which FY to consider

[neha1101]

Tax on dividend is calculated on based of which date

I recieved some dividend amount from Ashok Leyland last year. The dividend was declared on 25th Mar 2023 but it was paid to my account on 18th Apr 2024. Since the declration was on last financial year but I received the amount in my bank in new financial year, am I liable to pay taxes on this amount. ? P.S My 26AS shows an entry with this amount and also on income tax portal this amount is prefetched for tax payments
