when i was into c.a,i was told u can earn ur living n b self dependent....can get back the so cald invstment by doing articles for one yr...well i am not big head here but i wud like to say few points....
1.the non transfer rule has made articels as slaves working for pricnciples...
2.my c.a reduced stipend taking adv tht i cant change firm..
3.some ppla are talking abt money,...shobit is exactly rite...if not boasting,i cum from a pretty much rich family,but i like to earn my living....2500 is very less to live a good life in metro like bnglr..
4.i feel the min daily wage shud be 100..evry yr increment shud be 1500 n a certain percentage of profits shud belong to articles...
5.there is a weak line for article students to get exploited as we loose our career if v dun do articles..so there shud b independent cells to deal with it...
5.sorry to say this,there r ung c.a's in practice who pay more to girls than to boys.....but the work given is viceversa...
anyway,i agree tht articleship is very criticle phase but it need to be guided n regulated by separate authority..ther r many many problems apart from stipend n the phase of 3 n half yrs is too long..theres nothing to learn new after 1 n half yr...
