As per Income tax sec 10, any person getting salary or stipend during his/her training period is totally exempt from tax, so in the given case also there will be no tax on the income.

but as such I know Stipend is taxalbe if it exceed the Non Taxable limit. there r past judgements the stipend is exempt irrespective of the amount.
But there after some notification was issued regarding the taxability, and says that the stipend is taxable if it exceed the Non taxable limit

Whether the stipend paid to trainee is taxable if taxable under which section or head of income… If exempted, section please… ….From: ramprasad_mba @ …..com Stipend may be taxable or may not be taxable based on the fact of the case. First visit the scope of total income which is defined in section 5 of the Act. It says “5. (1) Subject to the provisions of this Act, the total income of any previous year of a person who is a resident includes all income from whatever source derived which (a) is received or is deemed to be received in India in such year by or on behalf of such person ; or (b) accrues or arises or is deemed to accrue or arise to him in India during such year ; or (c) accrues or arises to him outside India during such year “ Thus all receipts are taxable unless exempt expressly under the I T Act. Stipend is not expressly exmept under the Act. Thus Stipend is certainly taxable income if it is purely being given in form of cost of living or as wages or salary or for any purpose but studies . However, if the Stipend granted is for furthering education or gaining knowledge , same can be claimed exempt u/s 10[16] of the I T act . In this regard the decision of the Karnataka High Court in A. Ratnakar v. Addl. CIT [1981] 128 ITR 527 can be applied.This was also followed by Tribunal in case of Income-tax Officer v. Dr. G.N. Ramachandran

i think stipend given to a trainee under CA act does not come under the ambit of Sec 10(16), Cosidering that the CA is a private course and that the amount is 20000 pm and further, it is not in nature of scholarship or furtherance of studies, it is in nature of salary for services.

Stipend is not taxable, but stipend received during industrial training is taxable. However here i annexed a case law regarding taxability of receipt of stipend.

Stipend is exempt from income tax. TDS can't be deducted from any income that is exempt. TDS, therefore, on stipend in can't be deducted at all whether it is Rs.1000 or Rs.20000.
