Can’t afford a lawyer? Who can get free legal aid in India and how to apply

The National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) offers free lawyers and legal assistance to specific vulnerable groups, including women, children, and individuals from Scheduled Castes/Tribes, irrespective of income. Others can qualify based on income thresholds, which vary by court level and state. Applications can be submitted in person or online, with decisions made swiftly.
