I do not disagree with the view stated by Mihir but the principal does not give u salary nor Form 16 nor the regular rules of PF, ESIC and PT are not applicable nor the perquisites rules.
Hence i had stated the same to be taxable under income from other sources.
However if the stipend above exceeds the taxable limit i. e. above exemption limit then TDS deductible u/s 192 only.
Hence the same could be taxed in any of the heads.
