 It's taxable unless there is specific exemption u/s 10.  And I thing there are no exemption u/s 10 related to it.... So it is taxable..... Let's see what is the opinion of others.   

Article stipend is not taxable... There is a case law in this regard.. The stand in the case law is that the article is helping his principal in carrying out his work and acquiring knowledge.

Here is the case law....

 Dear Aayush kindly provide me the proof for your above statement...

Articles stipend  is Exempt from tax.

Hello, i agree and the case is very old.. IF you recevie the stipend like what u get in BIG4 than its a good amount and certainly income will increase the maximum limit.

for the other question i will like to say that it will be taxable under the head Salaries, only.....

And for NITIN- it will be taxable under the head of salary only as it is in the form of salary( stipend)....

In my Opinion, Stipend is not taxable U/s 10(16).

Stipend is not taxable if it is within the basic exemption limit for individuals. however it is taxable if it crosses that limit...............!!!

It is already discussed in club. please check the link......!!!
