Free government legal aid
You do not need money to fight loan harassment. A lawyer at the State’s expense is your right — not a favour, and not something anyone may charge you for.
Your right, not a favour
Article 39A: the State must provide you a lawyer
Under Article 39A of the Constitution and the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, free legal aid is guaranteed to those who qualify — and the Legal Services Authorities exist to provide it. Nobody on this site will offer to act for you, and nobody here will ever ask you for a fee.
This site is completely free — we charge nothing and we do not accept donations of any kind.
Free government legal aid — your right
Free legal aid is your right under Article 39A of the Constitution and the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987. It is available now, regardless of the above.

Lok Adalat — settle for free
A Lok Adalat can settle a loan dispute quickly, by agreement, with no court fee. Your District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) organises these and can place your matter before one.
