Indirect Tax Internship Scheme In Central Board Of Indirect Taxes And Customs (CBIC)(ITISCBIC)
Overview
About ITISCBIC
The Indirect Tax Internship Scheme is run by the Directorate of Legal Affairs under the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), which sits within the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance. The Directorate defends the government's indirect tax matters, covering Customs, Central Excise, Service Tax and GST, before the Supreme Court of India, and it takes on law interns each year to support that work.
As an intern you would study case files, assist with legal research and the drafting of petitions, brief the counsels who argue the cases, and provide other legal and general help to the officers handling them. The postings are based in New Delhi, and the scheme is aimed at law students partway through their LLB and at recent law graduates.
The benefit is composite: selected interns receive a monthly stipend for the duration of their engagement and, on completing it, a certificate of internship from the Directorate. Numbers taken, stipend rates and the length of each internship are set afresh in the notice CBIC issues for that cycle, so check the current advertisement before applying.
