Each selected Fellow will receive a stipend of Rs. 2.00 lakhs (subject to tax deduction at source).
The fellowship will be disbursed on a monthly basis (Rs. 50,000.00 per month) on receipt of satisfactory progress report by an expert group as per the monthly targets defined in the proposal. In addition, a grant of Rs. 50,000 for books, research material, travel, printing, production of creatives etc. will be provided. These funds will be sanctioned on the basis of the research proposal and released on production of actual bills.
Final payment of Rs. 50,000.00 will be made on the submission of the final output /deliverable and its acceptance by the expert group.
