Foreign Dividend Treatment

An assessee, resident individual, received Dividend on ESOP shares held in US company. They have deducted tax @ 25% in the USA. We have filed the ITR using DTAA rates, but while processing CPC treated it as normal income and taxed at normal rate leading to a tax demand. Please advise, is it correct to treat the foreign dividend as Income Chargeable at Special Rate or should it be at normal rate.
