where as lump sum amoount is received, it will be treated as capital receipt., hence not taxable.
if monthly payments received being revenue receipt it should be taxable
However , important to note that if the settlement is as per court , the Revenue authorities will not raise question ..If the settlement is out of court, the Revenue authorities , as is the nature, may raise the question regarding the taxability of Lump sum payments. Therefore, it is better to get the stamp of Court in case of settlement.
