Type of Membership and Annual Subscription
There are two types of membership for Aikatan:
Full Membership – can patriciate in all events of Aikatan – details are available below (annual subscription = Rs 8,000).
Durga Puja Membership – participation open only for Durga Puja (annual subscription = Rs 6,000). However, such members can participate in other events as a guest by paying the guest charges as applicable (which may be between Rs 400 to Rs 500 per person). Such members will also not be able to be a part of any Aikatan committee.
There is an upper limit to the total number of “Full Member”, but there is no limit to “Durga Puja Member”. As of now we are accepting both types of membership.
