13 January 2010 If the person who has been given any compensation for motor accident or any accident,is permanently disabled because of accident,such receipt is considered as Capital receipt which is not taxable. Whereas ,if the disablement is temporary,payment of claim in that case is taxable. The case law related to the issue is
