No stipends are only reserved for non-contact/reference interns. They get about 16K atleast in the litigation team. I was a reference intern very recently and didn’t get a dime but my co-interns who got in thru merit did.
Tbvh it’s very hard to even get a certificate at Luthra. They just don’t want to give unless you harass them again and again.
I had interned there, with the Projects team. This SA in the Mumbai office (pushpak) made it a point that all those who worked with him got their due stipend and the certificates in a timely manner. It's all about knowing who has enough pull to get shit done!
During interns orientation at the Delhi Office, the HR specified that no stipend is paid to interns who have secured internships through some reference. As far as I know, this is true for all offices and all teams. Yep, they do pay a decent stipend to interns who are have secured internship on merit.
Luthra does take in interns without reference. The standard for the same isn't high, but if you apply timely you'll likely get in. However, any person unless they're in their 3rd year or above won't get in without references.

Koi bhi firm reference waalo ko stipend nai deti
