Internship Programme of CBDT

CBDT has launched an internship programme in the Foreign Tax and Tax Research Division so that officers of the Department of Revenue and Income Tax, particularly of the Directorate of International Taxation and Transfer Pricing are able to interact with young scholars with brilliant academic background from reputed academic institutions. This programme will enable the Department to analyse various aspects of international taxation, Transfer Pricing etc, on the basis of refreshing ideas from the field of academics. It will also help the interns to familiarise themselves with the process of development of this important part of India's Tax Systems.

The following candidates are eligible to apply:

1. Graduates or PG Students in Economics.

2. Research scholars in Economics/Finance/Management.

3. Students of Five-year Law courses from National Law Schools.

4. Students of IITs

5. Candidates who have cleared PE II stage of CA Course.

The interns will be given a token remuneration of Rs. 5000/- per month. Should the Finance Ministry show all its austerity on the interns? How will anyone live in Delhi on Rs. 5000/- per month unless he gets some tips from the most honourable Dr. Montek Singh who believes that Rs. 30 is more than enough, though he is known to spend Rs. 2 lakhs of Public money per day?
