BOSTON, April 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund (NYSE Amex: EVV), a closed-end management investment company, today declared a monthly distribution of $0.1042 per common share, a decrease of approximately 10% from the prior month's distribution.  The Fund's net investment income earning rate has declined recently as the Fund's use of leverage and allocations to higher current yield securities were reduced.  As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of future distributions may change.
