The Bar Council of India also recommended that graduate should get Rs 22146; whereas the non-graduates should get Rs 20,357 as per the Delhi Minimum Wages Notification.
In its letter to all state bar councils, the BCI said, “The Bar Council recognizes that while junior advocates often face significant financial challenges during the early years of their careers, it is equally important to appreciate the diverse financial capacities and earning potential of senior advocates and law firms across India. Therefore, this circular provides directory guidelines for the payment of a minimum stipend to junior advocates, with due regard to the varying economic realities of the profession.”

The council further said that the stipend amount would be reviewed periodically based on economic conditions and feedback from the legal community. It also clarified that there will be exceptions since not all senior advocates generate large income or opportunities, and therefore these guidelines should be applied flexibly based on individual circumstances.
