In my opinion the said receipt will be taxable.

Section 10BC, exempts the amount received from State Government/State Government if the amount received on account of disaster. As the amount received is on accountant of injury caused due to mishappening of the lift, and the same is not covered under the definition of disaster. Further the amount is not niether receivable from the State Government nor Central Government.
