Exemption for missionaries' fees protects donations transferred to congregation from individual income taxation under income tax rules. Where fees or other earnings received by members of religious congregations are to be made over to the congregation, an overriding title vests in the congregation and those receipts are not taxable in the hands of the individual missionary. The exemption applies only to the individual's liability; taxability is transferred to the institution if the missionary's income is assessed with the congregation's income and the institution meets the conditions for income-tax exemption under section 12A.
