Taxable or Tax exempt

Dear Experts

I'd like to know if the money received as Corona Stimulus Economic Package from the US is taxable in India or not. Per the IRS it is tax free in the US. Schedule FSI doesnt have a relevant head to include this deposit under hence not included for many years.

Per the internet

Treated as a Non-Taxable Relief Grant (Not Income) -

Under the Indian Income-tax Act, a receipt is only taxable if it falls under the specific definition of "income" (such as salary, business profits, capital gains, or other regular streams).

The COVID-19 stimulus payment from the U.S. Treasury is a social benefit or disaster relief grant. It does not arise from any service rendered, employment, or investment activity in India, making it a capital receipt/personal relief aid rather than income.

Classified as a Government Aid -

In general tax principles, personal transfers or government aid given as financial relief do not qualify as taxable commercial or professional receipts.

Even though resident Indians are technically taxed on global income, statutory relief grants meant for public welfare do not possess the character of earned income or commercial revenue, meaning they are excluded from taxable computation under the Income Tax Department of India

Furthermore, the reason for asking this is because the user is interested in applying for the FAST-DS 2026 scheme.

1. The asset being declared under this scheme is a US bank a/c under Cat B (flat fee) route

2. The requiement for this bank a/c is 'Sum of ALL deposits'. The bank a/c was opened while NRI for salary

3. All the deposits in the users account was income that was taxed in the US. Upon becoming a resident, the US Treas deposited Corona Relief stimulus

4. Will this Corona stimulus be considered taxable or tax exempt during the FAST-DS 2026 filing

I am grateful for your expertise and response in advance

Sincerely

Mohan

FORM 141 SDV query

The total stamp duty value of property in Form 141 - Is it the value calculated as per the ready reckoner rate in Maharashtra or the actual sale price of the property (higher in most cases) on which the stamp duty was paid?

And I see that the SDV is proportionated as per buyer share in the form and not the Total Sale consideration which is higher in most cases.
