In Sudhir Kumar Sharma vs ITO (1983 15 Taxman 100 Jaipur Mag) has held that the stipend received by an articled clerk from a chartered accountant is exempt under Section 10(16).
 
The reason given by the Bench was that the stipend was paid to meet the cost of books, coaching fees, examination fees, and so on.
 
Reference may also be made to the ITAT decision in ITO vs Dr. G. N. Ramachandran (1 ITD 902 Bangalore) where it held that stipend received to meet the cost of education would be exempt under Section 10(16).
