Taxability in case of compulsory acquisition of the property

Hello Everyone!!! What will be the taxability of compensation received by the members of the society from the society for compulsory acquisition of common area of society by the government? Here, the Government authority will provide compensation to society and then society will distribute to members? So, how members taxability would be computed?

Society is a person under Income tax Act, hence compensation received by it will be taxable in the hands of society unless it is exempt, distribution of compensation to members of society will not be taxable in the hands of members
