Only new law graduates from government law colleges, and those with less than ₹2.5 lakh annual income and aged under 30 years are eligible for Tamil Nadu government’s monthly stipend of ₹3,000, the state bar council has announced.
This apart, the beneficiaries should submit a proof of practice, endorsed by a senior advocate, every six months. Applicants must be a resident of Tamil Nadu and should produce Aadhaar as proof. Only one person from a family is eligible for the stipend, said P S Amalraj, chairman of the Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.
A day after CM Edappadi K Palaniswami announced the stipend scheme to be given to young advocates during their first two years of practice, the statutory council fixed the eligibility criteria for beneficiaries.
Lawyers can apply online at http://ams.bctnpy.com from July 6. Eligible applications will be forwarded to the directorate of legal studies, where they will be scrutinised. Once approved, the stipend will be paid through bank transfers to beneficiaries.
