The features of Profession:
1) Qualifications: Professionals must hold certain minimum qualifications or skills/talents. One cannot practise profession unless minimum qualification, knowledge and formal training are acquired.
2) Financial Returns: Professionals render services in consideration of certain monetary remuneration called fees, e.g., a doctor charges fees after giving medical treatment to a sick person. The amount of fees varies according to the type or nature of services rendered. Professional if employed in the organisation, gets salary. eg. A working Chartered Accountant in a company gets a monthly salary.
3) Capital: If a professional practises independently, he needs capital for setting up and establishing his practice. If a professional works under someone else, he requires no capital to practise his profession
4) Non-transferability: Profession cannot be transferred to any other person at the will of a professional. This is because profession requires prescribed qualification, training and skill, e.g. a lawyer cannot transfer his legal profession to his son or daughter who has not acquired the required qualification, training and skill.
5) Registration: A professions has to registration under the respective body or association eg. A Lawyer has to register himself with a council of India
