Stipend is taxable, if it exceeds maximam amount not chargeable to tax.....however if stipend is given in form of financial assistance to meritious or poor students..then it is exempt. In all other cases it is taxable u/s 16.
for those who are saying that it is exempt, read the judgment, it is exempt only to the extent of being used for the purpose of education and not beyond that.
