Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to declare stipend income when filing your Income Tax Return (ITR). While some argue it might be exempt under Section 10(16) as a scholarship, the consensus is that stipends received by articled students are generally considered taxable income. It should be reported under the 'Income from Other Sources' head in your ITR.

Yes, it's taxable and your are required to show that income under head " income from other sources" in your ITR.
As per my thinking, stipend income should be exempt u/s 10(16) as it is provided to meet expenses of books and exam fees and the minimum amount is also governed by the act.
As per my view, Section. 10(16) scholarships granted to meet the cost of education is exempt.
I don't think stipend granted to article is considered as ' scholarship'.
It's Granted because they are also working like employees, and helping the principal in their work. it's not given to meet expenses of books, exam fee..
