India's once-prized IT stocks are now beginning to pay dividend yields that rival a bank fixed deposit but that should worry you more than it comforts you. The top five IT companies now offer an average dividend yield of 4.9%, with Wipro at 5.7%, HCL Tech at 5.6%, TCS at 4.9%, Infosys at 4.7% and Tech Mahindra at 3.6%. These yields haven't climbed because companies are paying out more. They've climbed because the stocks have collapsed.
