The India Alliance has set a level of personal support for each scheme.
- Early Career Fellowship: Rs 8,06,400/ year.
- Intermediate Fellowship: Rs 11,52,000/ year.
- Senior Fellowship: Rs 16,12,800/ year.
Please note:
1. The above personal support is the gross amount payable by the India Alliance. It includes a basic salary, 60% (of basic salary) as allowances and an additional 20% enhancement in lieu of the Fellowship award.
2. In cases where a Fellow has been receiving or has commitment to receive a salary from their Host Institution, the India Alliance will top up their salary, so as to meet the level indicated above.
3. In cases where no financial personal support is forthcoming for the Fellow from the Host Institution, the India Alliance will provide the total amount as indicated above.
4. It is the Fellows’ responsibility, in conjunction with their Host Institution, to determine how these emoluments should be presented for tax purposes.
5. In addition to the above, for Early Career and Intermediate Fellows who have requested overseas visits, a subsistence allowance of Rs 1,50,000/ month will be provided.
6. The India Alliance retains the right to periodically review and revise its provisions for the Fellow's personal support.
The India Alliance, by default, will make a contribution towards the indirect costs incurred by the host institution in housing the research, and is set at 10% of the total award. These costs should be applied in such a way that they support the Fellow's research, e.g. premises costs, utilities, or administrative support relating to research.
Work outside host institution
The India Alliance will provide a contribution to carry out research outside the host institution, either in India or abroad, for Early Career (up to 2 years) and Intermediate Fellows (up to 1 year). Senior Fellows may request funds for travel and subsistence costs for short visits to or for collaborators. However, these should be included under Miscellaneous costs.
Working elsewhere in India: Emoluments/subsistence would be provided in line with that of local rates. Travel costs must be specified by the applicant.
Working abroad: Applicants will be provided with an emolument/allowance of Rs 1.5 Lakhs per month (equivalent to ~ £2000/US$3000 per month). In addition, a total of Rs 1.5 Lakhs would be provided to cover travel costs.
