Indirect Tax Intern
HNA & Co LLP, a chartered accountancy firm, is hiring Indirect Tax Interns in Pune for a 4-month internship. The stipend is ₹10,000 a month, which sits below typical for internships in the same field across India.
What the stipend means

How to prepare before you apply

- Practise reading a circular or notification and summarising it in a few clear lines, since research on GST law is part of the work.
- Brush up on MS-Excel and MS-Office, which are commonly asked for in similar roles.
- Work on written English, as opinion drafting and replies to notices depend on clear writing.
