If you have an interest in accounts, there are a number of options available. From accountants who are required by even small businesses to chartered accountants and finance professionals for large companies, the needs of this field are only going to increase as the economy grows.

People with a B.Com. degree can start earning 4000 to 5000 Rupees per month and slowly increase their salaries as their skills and experience increase. People who have successfully completed their CA on the other hand can earn between Rupees 40,000 and 70,000 a month as starting salary.
