It is very hard to survive in the pune city by having stipend of Rs. 2000. We cant even end up with our food requirement. I stay in hostel. So we should get at least Rs.5000 pm.
it is unfortunate C A Articles even not consider equivalent to unskilled labor
1000 or 2000 even old age pension is more then in Delhi
our department of labor welfare is sleeping they must ask CA INSTITUTE MAKE IT
8500 per month
PER MONTH EQUIVALENT TO MINIMUM WAGES
we must pay our trainee and article as per the rate of skilled labor of every state
CA institute did not consider even unskilled labor
