19 July 2013 A simple logical approach can be applied here-
.
Whether the Payer has any liability to deduct TDS upon such payment to the students ?
.
Whether the amount is paid to meet the cost of education or is forming part of the compensation for the services ?
.
Whether stipend payment for excess leave taken by the student is deducted from the emoluments or not ?
Student remains a student on leave also- but why lesser scholarship is given ?
.
So, it can be decided from the facts and circumstances of the case only.
