Dividends are taxed immediately when distributed, while capital gains are only taxed when realized. In most countries, this gives growth stocks a significant advantage through tax deferral. Your ₹100 dividend gets taxed immediately, reducing your compounding potential, whereas that same ₹100 in share appreciation can keep working for you tax-free until you decide to sell. Over decades, this difference in tax treatment can add hundreds of thousands to your portfolio. Dividend investing is basically volunteering to pay taxes earlier than necessary.
