Hello and thanks for submitting your query with me.
There is absolutely no need to give details in your IT return of your investments in equity, shares or thru Mutual Funds. But Yes, in case you are booking equity profits within one year, then you have to declare the profits make by you in your IT return, to calculate capital gain tax. Presently it is 20% on the profit booked by you on your equity investment within one year.
Profits booked after one year of investment can avail Indexation benefit.
Dividends are tax free, whether it comes from Shares or Mutual Fund investments. The reason is that after declaring dividends, Companies have to pay the Dividend Distribution Tax to Govt. And please note that as per recent budget proposals its now increased from 15% to 30% from 1st June 2013.
For any other information, please feel free to contact me thru this website.

Dear Mr. VS.,
Thanks for your prompt response. But my query was not with reference to Income Tax Returns but to declaration in the NEW FORM 15G/15H. Whether we have to give the details as envisaged in the new form 15G/15H which has been introduced w.e.f. 1.4.2013

Form 15G/15H are Self-Declaration Forms required for Non-Deduction/Lower Deduction of TDS on Interest in Fixed Deposits.
But dividend income is tax free in the hands of investors, so its not required to submit it to the companies or mutual fund houses.
