Hi, Since there is no Employer & Employee relationship between the Principal & the trainee, it cannot be taxed under the head "Income From Salaries".
Therefore the only other head which it can be taxed is "Income From Other Sources".
However even if purse it is taxable u/h "Income from Other Sources", it has to cross the Basic Exemption Limit (Apart from other Incomes of the Assessee {if any }), only then it shall be taxable.
Hope i have Resolved ur Issue,
