28 July 2017 Yes, scholarship received for research work is exempt under 10(16). One has to ensure that the relationship between the assessee and the donor is that of a donor donee relationship and not any other beneficial relationship like principal - client or employer employee.

28 July 2017 dear sir

thanks for your valuable reply.

is there any condition existed under section 10(16) that exemption from scholarship will be granted to assessee only if assessee is not having income from any other sources?
