Back when my batch had graduated, a friend was working with a senior advocate at SC and was paid 50k. AS A FRESHER. And this was a few years ago. 70-90k is not unimaginable for someone like Khurshid.
In any case, when the question asks "is it true", and your answer is purely out of speculation (and even then the answer is "probably no"), is it worth replying?
No way, unless the junior does political work and is paid a share of Congress party funds (probably in cash, as all political parties work with black money).
Would anyone in their right mind (incl. Khurshid) pay a junior associate, w no experience, 70-90k?
Think.
Probably no.
Litigation salaries are low. Starting salaries in Chambers of Advs/Sr Advs are in the range of 25-50k. To make anywhere in the neighbourhood of 70-90k a lit associate would need min. 3 yrs of exp even w exceptional progress

Please enlighten me if any Advocate (Sr./Non-Sr.) in India is paying 70-90k to junior associates (freshers) w/ no work exp?
Thanks!
