Declaration of Dividend  is not mandatory for the Corporates. In other words it is at the discretion of Board of Directors to declare dividend when sufficient profits are being made by the company. Hence it does not constitute for a liability unless it is declared and a resolution is passed in this regard.

The statement quoted is false.
