Minimum stipend 8k -10k-12k
Please remove concept of stipend.
Because if anyone asks what is your stipend I can’t say anything.
Getting only Rs 2500 stipend in 3rd yr of articleship what to do ??
Whats the need to make fun of the articles…is 2500 is enough for a thirt year article
institute is just treating the students as labour. .a labour gets more than us in a day
Its relatively too low, and it should be minimum of 25000/- P.m.
For ca after from 01.04.2012 admission how much want to pay.
What is the use od double or triple the stipend. In actuality we never get a single Penny ….for me it is better to remove Stipend so that no one get any expectation about it .
This double and Triple of Stipend it always seem like a Joke
lol….. whether u double it or trible it, they ll pay according to their convenience only..
what is use of increase in the stipend ? strictly speaking icai is not implementing the rules accordingly, it is collecting the huge money from the number of students even it is also collecting for the campus selections
by doubling the stipend institute has done great job but as articleship is just cheap labour for Practising CA & Slavery for Article assistants Bcoz for class of ITT,Advance ITT ,2 GMCS,Orientation Program we pay around Rs.25000 to 30000 which is almost 1 and half year stipend for Article assistants
It is serious issue. Many of the Article are doing the practice in Metros and staying alone to get more exposure during the period. Hence Institute must hike the present rates for METROS. Must take an consider the survival cost too….
Hope you consider and review soon.
seriously,if someone says paying Rs.3000 for an article is not affordable probably. They should not practice. Will you get any person of any qualification for less than Rs.3000 Please do not treat articles like cheap labour
Good initiative
its very less for a article student raise some more money minimum 3000 to 5000 from 1st year to 3rd year
It is mentioned,”They shall come into force on the date of their final publication in the Official Gazette.” whether it is mandatory or not.
Whether it is applicable from Draft Official Gazette i.e. 10.09.2014 or 23.01.2015
THE PRESENT LEVEL OF FEES SUGGESTED WILL BE A HARDSHIP FOR SMALL PROPRIETORSHIP AND PARTNERSHIP FIRMS IN METRO CITIES LIKE KOLKATA. SUGGEST FOR 20% TO 30% HIKE, WHICH IS AFFORDABLE. REQUEST FOR REVIEW OF THE DRAFT NOTIFICATION.
THAT’ S GOOD
Has it come into force from today?
lol!!!!…..whats the use of duobling the stipend when it will never be followed
From which date are the revised stipend rates applicable ?
From which date it is applicable ?
And whether principal is require to pay on retrospective effect basis ?
Applicable commencing from 2012 articleship?
anyone can help me.
Applicable from September 2014 ?
Dear, Reader please lets think of what the intention of our institute, whether it is for the purpose to serve cost of CA or cost of leaving. Accordingly decide.
