13 January 2010 Stipend, prima facie, should be treated as a scholarship and should be exempt, since Sec. 10(16) exempts all `scholarships granted to meet the cost of education'.

Citation :- CIT v V. K. Balachandran (1984) 147 ITR 4 (Mad).

I think if u search the ca club india files, you will get the case.
However i may disagree with it as in that case, the stipend annually was Rs.2,000 however today the stipend is Rs. 8,000 per month.
