TDS Deduction from stipend

Dear all

I am in to my 3rd year articleship. TDS has been deducted on my stipend. Stipend doesnt form a part of salary and is exempt from tax. There is no employer employee relation. I have comunicated to the firm  but the ans what i got is that its a firm policy. Is there any provision under which stipend is taxable. What should be my course of action? Please advice.

PLEASE CONFIRNM UNDER WHICH SEC, THEY ARE DEDUCTING TDS AND AT WHICH RATE. whether you are receiving stipned as per ICAI norm or else. make it clear for further observation. Is there is any seperate contract?
Dear Friend, First you have to confirm under which section they are deducting your TDS. If they are deducting under Salary head then as per my opinion they are right. As per my opinion arcticle/audit cleark is as good as employee. So if your stipend crosses the maximum limit then TDS will de deducted. But you can take exemption on those part of salary that is expended by you for conveyance purpose.
TDS not to be deducted
Make a complain in C.A.institution
Hiii Stipend is exempt u/s 10(6). So TDS should not be deducted on it. Where as the Firms Policy cannot be contradictory to law. Case law: Sudhir Kumar Sharma vs ITO, Jaipur Bench.
dear friends, i want to say that the article posted by amit chaudhary is wrong , might be my friend has quoted a wrong section by mistake. the stipends are not taxable u/s 10(16) only if it is granted to meet the cost of education, irrespective of the fact whether the amount is utilised for the same purpose or any saving done from the same amount. case law: CIT vs. V.K. Balachandran (1984) 147 ITR 4 (MAD) & Dr. V. Mahadev v. CIT(1990) 51 Taxman 411/184 ITR 533 (MAD) thanks. Prakhar

hi! there is no liability of tds on stipend amt.if it has been deducted than plz ask the company under which section thy deducted.
No TDS is to be deducted, please get this reconfirmed
I agreed with Mr. Vijay, TDS should be deducted. As it is clearly mentioned in the definition of stipend that A stipend is a form of payment or salary, such as for an internship or apprenticeship. It means it can be treated as a salary and TDS on same should be deducted if it crosses the prescribed limit
Mr. Vijay can you please tell us the maximum limit for TDS to be deducted from stipend
stipend is neither professional fees norcontract receipts, hence no liablity arise for tds

How much should be the exact time to get well prepared for the pcc exam for both the groups
