Whether one has to incur expenses at any stage?
Barring the cost of getting the affidavit attested (and even this is not applicable if one is in jail) and postage for sending papers to the SCLSC, the legal aid grantee is not required to pay anything for any of the above services. They are absolutely free. The lawyers on the panel of the SCLSC are paid an honorarium of Rs.2,000/- per case by the SCLSC itself.
