BCI launches Rs 5K monthly advocates pension scheme

Thursday, 17 January 2013 By Legally India Bar, Bench & Litigation

The Bar Council of India (BCI) launched an advocates pension scheme under which all advocates in Bihar with at least 30 years of practicing experience will get a monthly pension of Rs 5000, even if they are above 65 years of age.

To avail the benefit of the scheme, advocates under the age of 30 years will have to deposit a one-time fee of Rs 7,000, and those above the age of 30 years will have to deposit Rs 10,000 once with the BCI, as well as regularly purchase the BCI’s journals. [UNI]

When will this start in other states. If this is not from any trust / fund, then it can be challenged by mean lawyers in other states (like me) under Art. 32 read with Art. 14 of the Constitution, on the ground that there is no "intelligible differentia" for this scheme to apply to lawyers in Bihar ONLY.
