Anywhere in India

Free advice, and they take your complaint to the company. In your language.

Free legal help (Legal Services Authority)

Free advice for anyone. A free lawyer if you qualify — every woman and child, SC/ST, workers, people in custody and anyone under the income limit. At every district court.

Consumer Commission

File a case yourself — no lawyer needed. Every district has one; claims up to ₹50 lakh go to the District Commission.

Government services

Stay safe with any helper
