What does Indian law say about your situation?

I received a legal notice

Section 138 cheque bounce, eviction, recovery, defamation. Understand what it actually claims, what you must do, and the exact day your reply is due.

My builder is delaying possession

Years past the agreed date, no occupancy certificate, calls going to the relationship manager. RERA Section 18 gives you a clear right to refund with interest or compensation for the delay.

Landlord is not returning my security deposit

Eleven-month agreement, vague deductions for repainting, calls unanswered. Most cities have a standard playbook for recovery, and a legal notice usually settles it.

Bank refused my EMI and called the loan NPA

SARFAESI Section 13(2) demand, auction notice in the newspaper, manager refusing partial payment. There is a 45-day window to file before the Debt Recovery Tribunal.

My housing society or RWA is being unfair

Maintenance hike without a general body vote, NOC refused for sale, audited accounts not shared. Most RWA overreach is reversible if you cite the right bye-laws.

I got an Income Tax or GST notice

Section 143(1), 142(1), 148, reassessment, mismatch in AIS. Know which section it is, the response deadline, and whether you actually owe what they say you owe.

An online order or service went wrong

Marketplace seller refusing refund, damaged delivery, hidden charges, fake reviews. The District Consumer Commission is mostly online now and works for amounts up to ₹50 lakh.

I lost money to a UPI or online fraud

1930 cybercrime helpline, cybercrime.gov.in, the 24-hour bank claim window, Zero FIR at the nearest station. The first few hours decide whether you get your money back.

My employer owes me money or fired me unfairly

Unpaid salary, full and final delayed, PF and gratuity not transferred, termination without notice. Where you file depends on your role and what state you worked in.

Divorce, custody, or maintenance

Mutual consent versus contested, interim maintenance under Section 125 CrPC, child custody, Hindu Marriage Act or Special Marriage Act. We will tell you what the process looks like before you walk into court.

I am facing domestic violence or harassment

Protection orders, residence orders, monetary relief under the PWDVA, 2005, and Section 498A. Confidential, in your language, with the nearest Protection Officer's contact.

Police, FIR, or arrest of a family member

Zero FIR if the station refuses, rights during custody, bail provisions under the BNS and BNSS, what your family must do in the first 24 hours. We say immediately when you need a lawyer at the station.
