I feel the minimum stipend level should be Rs.5000. I am giving this figure taking into consideration all the aspects of the costs incurred by students while completing their course of CA.

ya....definitely... because the employers only put thier signature in the accounts paper and its we,the articled assistant,who prepares those papers.... so...... we should get the payment from clients and the employersshould get stipend from us...... hows this plan.........??????????

it is verymuch essential to increase the stipends.the members are increasing their fees year after year.why are they doin that.we are also living in the same world where the cost of living is increasing eventhough there is deflation.since stipend is to be paid out of their pockets they re always remaining silent

We all should realise we are not bonded labours...I have seen articles working for more than 20 hours and still paid peanuts. I feel our fellow principals should realise on their own to pay us for the extra hours that we put in. My principal despite being a sole proprietor pays me much more than what people are paid in BIG 4s.. and he doesnt even make us work for more than the time limit of 35 hours a week plus weekends off. I believe other CAs should take him as an example. There is clear contravention of timing rules by majority of the firms including BIG 4s .. I dont understand why ICAI is quiet and not taking steps to curtail such harrasment by firms.

hi all

i think stipend paid to us is very low. when we compare us with paid assistants,its very low. Also we do work since morning to evening just like a salaried person does, but stipend paid to us as guided by icai is very low , it doesnot cover our conveyance & phone bill too.

it should be around 4000+

we students all have to launch a War Against these Institute High Profile peoples. FRIENDS JUST THINK AND SEE. PCC EXAM FEES IS HIKED RECENTLY TO RS.1600. THE MAZ STIPEND AN ARTICLE CAN GET IS RS.1500(FINAL YEAR ONLY). A STUDENT IS DEPENDENT ON HIS PARENTS FOR HIS EXAM FEES ITSELF. NEED A ROPE TO HANG MYSELF, HELP ME WITH A ROPE???
