IT SHOULD BE PAID THROUGH CHEQUE AS IT HELPS KEEPING PROOF REGARDING THAT THE ARTICLESHIP IS ATTENDED REGUARLY...!!!!!

ITS REALLY IMP. TO RECIEVE THE STIPEND THROUGH CHEQUE ONLY TO AVOID FUTURE PROBLEMS...!!

It can be paid in cash but the CA has to make sure that the cash so received gets deposited in the bank . :)

RECEIVE STIPEND IN CHEQUE ONLY. ITS COMPULSORY. IF INSTITUTE DOUBTS ABOUT YOU THAT YOU ARE A DUMMY. THE DEPOSITED CHEQUES HELPS YOU AS A PROOF. AND ALSO IT WILL BE A VIOLATION OF LAW IF UR PRINCIPLE PAYS YOU STIPEND IN CASH, UR PRINCPLE WILL BE GUILTY OF MISCONDUCT.

It should be paid through cheque. Firms are answerable to Institute in regards to stipend paid to articles

Definitely, stipend of article should be paid by A/c payee cheque only......

other mode is not valid in any law......

hello reena.

there are only provisions are mentioned by icai regarding the payment of stipend in the ''students manual'' issued by icai.

1. The stipend is paid by ca though account payee cheque only.

2. Or the cash stipend will be deposited by ca in the bank account of article ''specially opened for that purpose'' only and reciept of this wil retain by ca as proof and for future course of action.
