✓Who Is Eligible?

NALSA Free Legal Aid is available to various categories of people who need legal help but cannot afford to pay for it. The scheme covers Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) members, women of all backgrounds, children below 18 years of age, and persons with disabilities. It also helps victims of trafficking and industrial workmen involved in labor disputes. Additionally, any person whose annual income is below Rs. 1 lakh per annum is eligible to receive free legal representation. The scheme operates across all of India, so residents of any state or union territory can apply. There are no specific age restrictions mentioned for general applicants, though children have specific protections. Geographic location within India does not restrict eligibility. The scheme is particularly focused on helping economically weaker sections of society access justice.
