The Ministry of Law and Justice has informed that several states including Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Jharkhand have introduced stipend or financial assistance schemes for junior advocates through state governments and Bar Council mechanisms. Acknowledging income challenges faced by early-career lawyers, the Bar Council of India has recommended a minimum monthly stipend of ₹20,000 for junior advocates in urban areas and ₹15,000 in rural areas. Any nationwide or state-wide implementation, including in Maharashtra, would require structured frameworks, budgetary support, eligibility norms, and verification mechanisms at the State Bar Council or government level.
