Indian citizens moving abroad for education are generally taxed like others as per regular rules. They do not get the employment exception; therefore, the 182-day and 60+365-day rules both apply unless there are specific facts to the contrary.
Since your client stayed less than 182 days (167 days) and assuming they have stayed at least 365 days in the last 4 years and at least 60 days in FY 2024-25, they may still qualify as a resident for tax purposes.
Global income, including the foreign stipend, will be taxable in India.
The client may get credit for foreign taxes paid by claiming relief under the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA), if applicable.
