Know Your Rights
Understand your legal rights in any situation — as a tenant, an employee, a consumer, or a citizen — in language that actually makes sense.
Most people don't find out what their rights were until after a situation has already gone wrong. Know Your Rights lets you describe what's happening — a landlord withholding your deposit, being let go without notice, a builder delaying possession, a defective product you can't get refunded — and get a clear, jurisdiction-aware breakdown of what the law actually says, in plain English.

In detail
Tenant Rights
As a tenant in India, you're entitled to a written rental agreement, timely maintenance, essential services, and a fair, documented process for deposit deductions. A landlord generally cannot evict you without following the notice process set out in your state's Rent Control Act or your lease agreement.
Employee Rights
If you're terminated, you're generally entitled to your agreed notice period (or pay in lieu), any pending dues including gratuity and provident fund, and a lawful reason where your contract or company policy requires one. Wrongful termination can be challenged through the labour commissioner or labour court.
Consumer Rights
Under the Consumer Protection Act, you have the right to a refund, replacement, or compensation for a defective product or deficient service, and you can file a complaint online through the National Consumer Helpline or e-daakhil portal without needing a lawyer for smaller claims.
Rights During a Police Encounter
If questioned or detained, you have the right to know the reason, the right to inform a family member or friend, and the right to legal counsel. Arrest without a warrant is only lawful in specific circumstances defined by law.

Frequently asked questions
What are my rights as a tenant in India?+
Tenants are entitled to a written rental agreement, timely repairs and essential services, and protection from eviction without proper legal notice. Landlords must follow the process under the relevant state Rent Control Act, and security deposits must be refunded minus only legitimate, documented deductions.
What are my rights if I'm terminated from my job without notice?+
In most cases, your employment contract or company policy entitles you to a notice period or pay in lieu of it, along with settlement of dues like gratuity, provident fund, and unused leave. If you believe the termination was unlawful, you can raise it with the labour commissioner.
What are my rights as a consumer if I receive a defective product?+
You're entitled to a repair, replacement, or refund under the Consumer Protection Act. If the seller refuses, you can file a complaint through the National Consumer Helpline (1800-11-4000) or the e-daakhil online portal without necessarily needing to hire a lawyer.
What are my rights if I'm stopped or questioned by the police?+
You have the right to know why you're being questioned or detained, the right to inform someone of your whereabouts, and the right to consult a lawyer. Arrest without a warrant is legally restricted to specific situations defined under criminal procedure law.
Can I get free legal help if I can't afford a lawyer?+
Yes. Under Article 39A of the Constitution and the Legal Services Authorities Act, free legal aid is available through the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) and state Legal Services Authorities for those who qualify.
