Dividend equalisation refers to the distributable portion (non taxable) of the fund created to equalise the dividend payable on units purchased at different times. It is also revenue reserve that acts as a buffer between a certain dividend level and profits available. The sums are usually transferred to this reserve account in good years, and withdrawn from in poor years to maintain the dividend amount.
