Can we appoint a B.Tech Engineer Trainee @ 2000/-PM stipend. I understand this kind of person will not covered under apprenticeship act.
From India, Delhi
According to our knowledge the apprentice act says the minimum stipend to be paid is Rs.3500 for Graduate engineers. If the company wants to pay more it is their wish. If you appoint a Graduate Engineer Trainee for less than Rs.3500 you will be doing it at your own risk.
Hope this helps.

If you are recruiting withnthe approval of the apprantic advisor, then you need to pay a minimum of what he says. However, if you are recruiting directly, then the stipend must be higher than minimum wages.
You can have stipend provided at a lower rate in the standing orders, and define them specifically as apprentices under standing orders. However, in case of a complain, you will have a tough and expensive fight on hand. Is it worth doing that for saving ₹1500-2000 per month ?
And yes, I hope you are within the limits of number of apprantice approved for your comoany by the apprantice advisor

Hi Manoj,it is better to enroll your organization under Apprentices Act with Regional Apprentice Board of your area.The rates mentioned by DWITS are applicable to Apprentices.B.Tech can be engaged as graduate apprentice.
Important part of this statute is that 50% of stipend paid is reimbursed by the Apprentice Board which is under control of Central Govt.
Period of apprenticeship is 1 year.Further such engaged person will not be treated as employee & your company will be protected from liabilities under labour laws.
All the best.
