So, what we really then have is instead of a potential social activist lawyer or a human rights lawyer, we are increasing as a consequence of economic necessity we’re converting them into, if I may call them, is just a corporate geek or glorified clerks. This is the average monthly salary including housing, transport, and other benefits. Salaries range from 16,600 INR (lowest average) to 52,300 INR (highest average, actual maximum salary is higher). What is most disheartening is that litigation as an option is closed to those who might have been truly passionate about it, and would have made great future counsel in our country, simply because it is not possible for them to continue on the meager salaries when they have spent significant sums for their education and have families to support. A person working in Information Technology in India typically earns around 32,100 INR per month. Young juniors entering litigation today are paid little or nothing as compared to their corporate peers.
Salaries vary drastically between different careers. Salaries range from 8,080 INR (lowest average) to 143,000 INR (highest average, actual maximum salary is higher). There’s no guarantee of income, in that sense litigation has not really changed in terms of its perception, say 20 or 30 years ago. A person working in India typically earns around 31,900 INR per month. These are some type of hard and tough realities which many young lawyers are facing nowadays.
Justice Chandrachud, while pointing out the financial struggle in litigation says that “In litigation today, even now, there are law firms who would typically brief the young lawyers who were well connected.
