There is no hierarchy or specific pay scale. This varies from organization to organization. The pay scale is sometimes almost on par with that of a CA. Broadly speaking a professional with only an ICWAI degree can expect to start with a pay of at least Rs 4000/- per month. However those with additional qualifications-such as that of CA can expect salaries comparable to any of the top executives in the higher echelons of the company. This could start from anything between Rs 7000/- to Rs 12,000/- per month
