Questions about these guides

Are these legal articles free to read?

Yes. Every guide on this site is free and needs no sign-up. They explain Indian law in plain language so you can understand your position before you pay anyone.

Can I rely on an article instead of asking a lawyer?

Which areas of law do the guides cover?

Criminal law under BNS, BNSS and the IPC; cyber crime and financial fraud; family and divorce; property, tenancy and registration; consumer disputes; cheque bounce; and NRI matters.

How often are the guides updated?

Guides are revised when the law or procedure changes, most recently for the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and BNSS replacing the IPC and CrPC. Each page shows its last update date.
