not exempt but tax limit is 250000
Stipend received during articleship period is exempt income u/s 10(16) of the act

Reference may also be made to the itat decision in ITO vs. Dr. G. N. Ramachandran (itd 902 bangalore) where it held that stipend received to meet the cost of education would be exempt under section 10(16)
Thanks Mam Deepika Yadav

sir Himanshu Garg i agree but if it is not exempt ...tgen it cant be also treated as Income from salary.?

..
The stipend received shall be taxable since the amount so received (particularly in case of CA Articles) is not for meeting any research or book cost. Moreover it shall be taxed under IFOS since there is no employer employee relationship, so can't be taxed under Salary head.
