Step-by-step

  1. Record dividend per share and announcement date.
  2. Check the ex-dividend and book closure dates.
  3. Multiply eligible shares by dividend per share.
  4. Record tax or withholding assumptions separately.
  5. Reconcile expected dividend income with actual cash received.

Worked example

If you hold 1,000 shares and the company declares Rs. 5 per share, gross dividend income is Rs. 5,000 before tax effects.
