The Government of India has launched a free legal assistance service on whatsapp called Nyaya Setu, making legal help available instantly through a simple chat — no office visits, no big legal fees.

1️⃣ 📱 What Is Nyaya Setu?

Nyaya Setu is an AI‑powered whatsapp chatbot launched by the Ministry of Law and Justice on January 1, 2026. It provides free legal guidance right from your phone.

It’s designed to simplify access to justice by answering questions about the law and pointing you to further help if needed.

2️⃣ 🎯 What Kind of Legal Help You Can Get

Through this whatsapp service, you can get basic legal information and advice on a range of issues, including:

Civil law matters (disputes, notices, remedies)

Criminal law questions

Family & matrimonial issues (e.g., divorce, custody)

Domestic violence guidance

Property disputes

Corporate and business law basics

While the service doesn’t replace a lawyer for complex court cases, it helps you understand your rights, procedures and options before taking further steps.

3️⃣ 📲 How to Use It — Just a whatsapp Message Away

Using the Nyaya Setu whatsapp legal help is easy:

Save the whatsapp number: 72177 11814 — it appears as Tele‑Law/Nyaya Setu.

Open WhatsApp and send a simple message like “Hi”.

Verify your mobile number when prompted (it makes the service more personalized but some help might be available even without verification).

Follow the chatbot’s menu or type your legal question.

The chatbot uses artificial intelligence to understand your query and give you easy‑to‑follow legal guidance — anytime and anywhere.

4️⃣ 🕐 When Is It Available?

The service is available 24×7, meaning you can reach out at any time without worrying about office hours or court schedules.

This can be a big help for people who:

Can’t afford a lawyer immediately

Don’t know where to start with legal questions

Want reliable information before approaching legal professionals

5️⃣ 💡 Why This Matters

Legal advice can often be expensive or hard to access, especially for everyday disputes or civil issues. The Nyaya Setu whatsapp chatbot:

✔️ Brings legal help to your phone
✔️ Helps people understand their rights and duties
✔️ Reduces the need to visit courts or law offices for basic guidance
✔️ Promotes legal awareness and access to justice across India

It’s part of a broader push by the government to make essential services digital, simple, and accessible.
