I am not sure about 9 lac salary or something like that unless we don't talk about in hand salary.

In this context I would like to tell you that one of my friend who was a rank holder and joined leading IT co. one year back from campus got the ctc of Rs. 10.5 lac and actually getting 65000 pm in hand which is 7.8 lac.

Even myself joined a leading psu in same campus got offer of 4.5 lac ctc getting only 27000 pm

one my friend working in a BPO of leading IT co. got offer of 3.5 lac and getting only 24000 pm

therefore your high salary depends upon:-

Are you a rank holder ( even in that case you must be selected from campus not offcampus)

otherwise

you must be knowledgeble and having exp. in good ca firm

finally, if a ca fresher gets 25000 in hand he should consider himself lucky and if gets his profile good too then extremely lucky.

I think for a fresh CA in current business environment salary in the range of Rs. 4.5 to 5.5 lakhs can be considered as good.Any excess in this would certainly be towards the knowledge, experience during articleship, communication skills which particular CA is able to showcase in interview.

Thanks a lot friends for your opinions and views.

In this recent campus in Delhi, i have got placement in Genpact- finance & accounting at a package of Rs 4.6 lacs p. a. but in hand is just 25000 p.m.

Also my friends are saying that a BPO profile is useless at this point of time. So, do u guys think i should join it or not. Please share ur valuable views.
