As per my best knowledge any trainee is coming for training purpose which indirectly states that their approach is of getting knowledge/skill for the said reason Stipend is paid which is a periodic payment, esp. a scholarship or fellowship allowance granted to a student. Here the employee employer relation does not exist and no labor law is applicable, whether it is ESI/PF/MW/TDS etc.
But would like the seniors to guide further.

Agree with Ramakanth.
Section 10(16) of the Income Tax Act provides for exemption of scholopship received to meet the cost of education. This is required to be paid for the pursiut of knowledge, resulting in awarding a degree/completion of education course is exempt.
However any payments received on training which do not amount to education/recongnised corse by an educational institute, do not qualify for exemption.
The facts of the case specified in the post is clear and any amount paid is chargeable to tax under income tax act.

Dear Mr.Divkar
Thanks. The stipend is applicable in case of educational institute only. I think in this case, the payment made to \"Trainee\" can be treated as contractual employee and treated under section 92A. Otherwise it will be u/s.95j
