**A. Designated Trades (DT)**

In case of DT, notified through the Gazette, the duration of basic training will be as per the approved course.

**Other important facts:-**
**1. Stipend Support**
Partial stipend support by GoI under NAPS-2 will be limited to 25% of stipend paid, up to a maximum of Rs.1,500 per month, per apprentice during the training period through DBT to the apprenticesтАЯ bank account.
**2. Fund flow mechanism**
Establishments pay at least 75% of the stipend to apprentices and GoI pays 25% of the stipend, up to a maximum of Rs 1,500 per month per apprentice. Partial stipend support by GoI will be transferred directly in the bank account of apprentice through DBT via PFMS.
Minimum age for an apprentice is 14 years, and 18 years for designated trades related to hazardous industries, as per Section 3(a) of the Apprentices Act, 1961.
