How about volunteering for a good cause? The experience might be well worth it.

Don't. Unless you really need to OR have an idea for something , your time is better spent learning some skills.

Try your hand in Call Center thingie. I earned like Rs22,000 during my vacation break between my 1st and 2nd year. You dont even have to work, just attend their training, once training is done, join other company. Some students have hoarded thousands jumping from one BPO to another. They dont tell their parents though...you still need the pocket money from home right..hehehe ....If parents know, bad news....they be like -" tere ko padne ke liye bheja tha, dahandha karne ke liye nahi".
Oh, you need to be good in spoken english..and a bit smart and confident.

1.Make a latest mobile game clone (flappy bird, angry bids epic etc any popular one)
3.Name it similar to the original and give same artwork etc and spam it with ads
4.Pray that some noob people will download it
5.???
6. Profit (and if the game goes popular, milk it like crazy cod.

OR

1. make a fake "nigerian prince" gmail account..
2. send lucrative emails to older people saying some made up bullshit
3.hope you get their money
4. ????
5. Profit

THEN

1.Take the money from the flappy bird clone/ nigerian prince scam
2.invest it into shares
3. Pray that the prices rise
4. ???
5. Profit

If all of the above fails, no need to worry, you have got yourself some hacking/communication & programming skills that will help you get a job in the future
so this is a win-win advice...

So, the nigerian prince that asked me for money who said he will return it 10 fold after he gets his throne back is actually a scam ?

Well in my experience,my juniors have made pocket money by

loading and unloading/physical job
catering/serving in parties/marriages/birthdays/occasions

I worked in a 3 star restaurant from 6 pm to 12 am`mailnly in the bar.I made most of the money via 'tip'.When people drink they become immensely happy and they give us money:p
I also worked in room service where i got rs 500 one time just for serving beer,though it didnt happen for a second time.Guys in the cleaning dept offered money for doing the dishes but we refused it.
thats all i know about working n leisure time.

Since, you're doing B.Com, you can try for an internship/part-time job at any small firm/CA office.
I also did a 2month job after my 1st year exams at a small firm where i had to maintain the accounts of the firm. Though the firm wasn't much big in terms of operations, i got a vague idea of how things worked.
Such jobs are cakewalk if you are thorough with your basic accounts concept. If you are well-versed with MS-Office ( MS-Excel especially ), you can easily maintain the books.

Such jobs may not pay much ( 4k-6k per month for a part time job ), but if you are geniunely interested in the accounting aspect of a job, this can help you a lot.

CA offices are like treasure. You can learn loads and loads of stuff from them, but they pay very low ( at least in my city ). They pay about 2k-4k per month.

Hope this helps.

it depends on the hardwork you put in making the visting card....first of all explore the market confirm the rates which are going on locally then decide.....
