3) RAISING OF INCOME CEILING

The income-ceiling limit U/s 12(h) of the Legal Services Authority Act, 1987 has been enhanced to Rs. 50,000/- per annum to extend the benefits of the Act to more people.

4) EMPHASIS ON COMPETENT AND QUALITY LEGAL SERVICES TO THE AIDED PERSONS

The quality of legal services is the need of the hour for providing competent legal aid to the applicant. Delhi Legal Services Authority takes regular feed back of the Advocates on its panel and strikes of the names of the Advocates who fail to provide efficient services to the applicants/aided persons. The Authority is always on a look out to bring young, hard working and honest Advocates on its panel.

5) ACCREDITATION OF NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATIONS

The Authority is working collectively with Govt. Departments and agencies has also teamed up with Non-Governmental Organizations working directly or indirectly in the field of Legal Services. Most of the NGOs are registered.

6) MARRIAGE AND FAMILY COUNSELLING CENTRES

Marriage and family counseling centres being run by the Authority has become extremely popular. This centre is first of its kind in the country where efforts are made to persuade the parties to sort out their disputes and differences without recourse to litigation. The centres have proved their utility in as much as before giving legal aid to eligible persons, every effort is made to explore the possibility of a compromise between the parties. In many cases, Counselors attached to this Authority have succeeded in persuading the parties involved in matrimonial disputes to re-unite and live a happy marital life. In those cases where reunion appears to be not possible, the parties are motivated to go in for mutual consent divorce and the issues relating to maintenances, custody of the children, dowry and permanent alimony are settled across the table.

7) FREE LEGAL AID CENTRES

With a view to educate the general public about their rights and procedure to get free Legal Aid, the Delhi Legal Services Authority has set-up 28 legal aid centers in different parts of Delhi.
