As per AY 2008-09 Dividends that are distributed attract a tax of 15 per cent.Short term capital gains attract a tax of 10 per cent under Section 111A.
There is merit in equating the rates and hence increased the rate of tax on short term capital gains under Section 111A and Section 115AD to 15 per cent. [ This encourages investors to stay invested for a longer term.]

I’ve been engaged in taxes for lengthier then I care to acknowledge, both on the personal side (all my working life!!) and from a legal stand since satisfying the bar and pursuing tax law. I’ve put up a lot of advice and corrected a lot of wrongs, and I must say that what you’ve put up makes utter sense. Please carry on the good work – the more people know the better they’ll be outfitted to comprehend with the tax man, and that’s what it’s all about.
