The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has given good news to the Chartered Accountancy – CA students by doubling their articleship stipend. Though there will be parents for the support, financial independence is very important for a student who is doing a Professional Course like CA.

According to the Chartered Accountants Regulations, regulation 48 states about the stipend for the articleship assistants. It’s mandatory for a CA student to undergo the  articleship training for 3 years which was revised to 2 years through the amendment notified on 23rd June 2023.

For the second year, the ICAI raised it from Rs. 2500 to Rs. 5000. And for the third year, it was doubled from Rs. 3000 to Rs. 6000.
