NOTE:
Union Budget 2026-27 - Finance Bill, 2026
Dividend income and income from units of mutual funds constitute passive investment receipts taxable under the head “Income from other sources” under the Income- tax Act, 2025. Section 93 of the Act provides for allowing certain deductions against such income, i.e interest expenditure incurred for earning such income, subject to a ceiling of twenty per cent of the gross dividend or income from units of mutual funds.
It is proposed to amend section 93(2) to provide that no deduction shall be allowed in respect of any interest expenditure incurred for earning dividend income or income from units of mutual funds.
The amendment will take effect from the 1st day of April, 2026 and shall accordingly apply for tax year 2025-26 onwards.
[Clause 36]
