Sam does not pay interns any money. Despite promising the interns 4500 per month, none of the interns got paid. What's worse is they say they will pay , and even ask you for your bank details but they never actually do.
Having interned at 5 of the firms mentioned here, I can say that this is accurate
Are you sure? Can this be confirmed by anyone?
The revised Lexygen stipend number (they dont offer online only offline internships now) is 21k for 6 weeks. They announced the major increase in stipend almost a year back.
What garbage is this pay! Trilegal used to pay 15000 in 2015, if anything cost of living has only increased since then.
So, Trilegal paid 15000 in 2010,2015 and even now....wow....please some intern give the management a research report on inflation and rising cost of living for nindrunkard non partner type of Associate population with their families.
lol Sam offline also doesn’t pay anything. Just takes your financial details for the heck of it.
Trilegal paid 15k in 2015. It's 2023, and they've increased it by 1k. Much wow.
J. Sagar Associates Bengaluru (Online) Paid 7200 RS.
Sam online ex-intern here, got 5K as stipend. SAM offline interns get 7K along with travel arrangements and all. Currently I'm interning at LKS long term, getting 20K per month.
Hello, does this apply to the Delhi office too?
Just adding onto this TT&A Pays : 10k Offline
How would you calculate the bill share for an intern who literally cannot bill a client? Kuch bhi bolte ho yaar tum log.
Why stop at 1-2% bill share? Keys to the partner's German engineered car, a date with his wife / husband. Aim for the stars dude, why beg for 1-2% like a ▮▮▮..
Bill share LOL.. clearly a first year/2nd year intern who thinks their work was any worthwhile LOL
Wait what? I interned in L&L, Mumbai during COVID, 2 months online and one call back internship of 2 months. They did not pay me anything? The associates in fact seemed bothered by the lack of stipend paid to the interns during one of my internships.
What is the truth?
I am quite amazed at Trilegal. Given that it pays 16k to its intern and assuming it has 100 interns in total, Trilegal spends a whooping 16 lakhs as intern expense!!!!!!!
There’s caveats to it. It only pays 16k to interns who are admitted on merit/are on callback; which makes up only a very low % of the total interns. The interns who get through contacts don’t end up getting anything in their first stint, only on callbacks.
That's fair. Can't believe nepo kid interns are whining about not being paid at par with meritorious interns.
Who is getting internships on merit there anymore tho lol. And they have paid to the ones who got in through contact.
It was quite disappointing that despite being small, and taking 3 interns every month, Finsec never bothers to pay stipend.
The partners & founders of such firms are living a life of endless greed it seems.
How can someone not pay an intern who come from far away cities and bear huge expenses while interning.

Give internship to limited students, but atleast pay them for Godsake.
Trilegal earns heavy bucks my friend, paisa hi paisa hai firm ke pass. Adding to that Indus also pays 3.5 grand to its interns but majority come in via contacts (had my worst experience there).
I have an internship with Indus Delhi in December, can you please elaborate why is it worse?
Stop spreading fake news. IndusLaw pays 7.5k to 10k (varies as per feedback). This is for interns who come via college placement cells.
True. I got 10k whereas my friend got 7.5k
Talk of privileges, and elitism is here.

Ok Cammie!
You are definitely not your username. You sound like an uninformed illiterate.
You, sir, are so consumed by your sense of privilege that it’s hilarious.
Financial literate is calssist and exploitative of all time
Although L&L is crumbling and may cease to exist - they paid 12000 for offline interns in delhi office
Was it for the June month? Because they haven't paid me anything and seenzones my mail :(
Mumbai living expenses alone are minimum 15-20K (that too on a sharing basis), food goes up to 8K for 2 meals. Please be serious. You're trying to downplay the expense struggle.

Just because you're getting to eat 3 square meals a day doesn't mean hunger doesn't exist.
Well, for CAM, fellow colleagues have informed me that post pandemic CAM has reduced stipend to only 3k. Post pandemic CAM has also stopped giving free food coupon to interna unlike earlier.
Um, I am not sure how true that is. I interned with CAM Mumbai in 2022 post COVID and I received 12k. Yes, food coupons are not free but can be bought (Its about 120 rupees per meal).
I know if Bharucah calls you back for an internship they give 12.5k in Bombay for offline interns only. I got this amount. I don't know about their other offices.
They now give 10k for an intern and 15k if you get a call back internship. I think this is across cities.
Was your first internship with them an assessment internship, directly?
Hi. Got 10k during my internship with TMT Delhi :) (not via campus or source)
Totally agree with TMT waale bhaiya. Assessments and internships at Indus are a joke (sab nepo bachhe hai udhar), Trilegal and Luthra are more sought after in terms of stipends per se.
1500 per week + 300 per week lunch allowance [in-office internship]
thanks! how fast do they pay it tho im waiting for almost an year for my stipend
Damn wtf write to the HR this is crazy. They pay it in 2 weeks - a month max. And check your bank statements before emailing/calling.
Fox Mandal - Mumbai (BKC office) - 0 for offline internship.

It cost me a heck lot.
LKS pays 20k, with a 10% TDS coming down to 18k a month.
In which world bro? Last time when I checked the internship confirmation mail specifically mentioned this is an unpaid internship.
It's unpaid for short term interns and 20K per month for long term interns.
LKS giving interns real life tax practice experience lol
Does anyone think the stipend paid to interns indicates an AO starting salary? Let's say if an intern receives 5k at a particular boutique firm, then an associate at the least could expect 25k (5x5k). Just a random thought.
At JGLS we throw 5 years worth your sorry stipend on bottle service in a night. Get a life losers.
Law interns should stop cribbing about pay. Work at subway if you want or embrace the challenge.
I didn't know you had to sell your heart to be a T1 Partner.
Don't come around begging for internships then.
aint' no one wanna hire you with that english.
Fox Mandal Cal office Pays 5k/month stipend to interns.
Anyone who got stipend at Jsa? online internship?
How much does Saraf Noida pays for internship???
For Saraf Noida, 10,000 to NLU interns and none to Non-NLU unless your partners asks the HR to give it specifically.
Even nlu kids with references are getting it???
AZB and Sam - nothing

KCO - 8k

Trilegal - 17k
CAM - 12k
AZB - 10k
Saraf - 12k (only if you are from NLU unfortunately - has an open discriminatory practice)
KCO- 6k
SAM - About 4k (peanuts)
Tri - 16k
Which office? And when did you interned? After how many days of your internship being over did you received your pay?
Please do not go anywhere near Fox & Mandal.. any other place is better
HSA being the most toxic firm pays nothing
SAM paid me 4333 but after a few months . There was an email asking for info for the stipend cheque but make sure you check your emails daily because I received my mail around 3pm and it said to send info before 8pm .
