Yes, there is a fee for industrial training, but it is different from the articleship fee. Here’s a breakdown:
### **Articleship Fee vs. Industrial Training Fee:**
- **Articleship Fee:** - **Amount:** ₹2,000 - **Purpose:** This fee is paid to ICAI for registering your articleship and covers administrative costs related to your articleship training.
- **Industrial Training Fee:** - **Amount:** Typically, there is no separate fee specifically designated for industrial training. The industrial training is generally a part of your articleship period, and the administrative aspects related to it are usually included in the overall articleship fee. - **Forms:** When you apply for industrial training, you need to submit Form 109, but this does not incur an additional fee.
### **Important Points:**
1. **No Separate Fee:** - There is generally no separate fee for industrial training beyond the articleship fee you’ve already paid.
2. **Forms and Documentation:** - Ensure that you correctly fill out and submit Form 109 and any other required documents related to industrial training.
3. **Training Approval:** - Make sure the organization where you are undertaking industrial training is approved by ICAI.
### **Procedure:**
- **Submission:** - Submit Form 109 along with other required documents (such as a letter from your current principal) to ICAI.
- **No Additional Cost:** - Beyond the regular articleship fee, there are typically no extra charges for the process of industrial training.
Always check with ICAI or your regional office for the most up-to-date information regarding fees and procedures, as policies can change.
