Even A bhikhari will refuse such amount.... The old fools at ICAI council still live in the time of 60's. They don't understand that in order to ensure proper articleship an incentive in the form of money should be provided to the student.

I myself forget to take my stipend for 2 or 3 months as it is so meagre. My conveyance that I spend from office to home is more than my stipend.

Then CA's complain that student is doing dummy articles. What shall he do with such a low amount.

I don't agree that stipend is chanda. . . It is bheekh indeed....

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.
