First one is from 1st January to 31st January and second one from 1st July to 31st July. This fund will be used for court cases and other welfare matters to all APBEE members. We will continue this type of contribution till association have sufficient amount in it’s account. As, we all know that if association will have sufficient amount of money in it’s account, then we can do our work smoothly.

(8.) One query was raised for what is exactly stand of APBEE on promotional post of EA. It is cleared that we are ready to accept SEA, If it is provided by back date. EA to SEA promotion has to be done before SEA to AE promotion so that we may also be eligible and will appear in SEA to AE exam. Otherwise our demand is to have direct promotion from EA to AE.
