15 December 2012 one resident individual (indian national) received an insurance claim of euro 2500 on missing of luggage in france (europe). The insurance claim is paid by the hotel authority (from where the luggage was missed)directly to the bank account of that individual.
Is this income (amt recd. from insurance claim) is taxable in india? and if taxable under which head?

15 December 2012 If the luggage which was lost is not a capital asset, then nothing is taxable. The personal assets...like clothes, lap top etc. do not fall under capital asset and hence insurance claim is not taxable.
