💨 Abstract

In the 2025-26 budget, the Indian government has allocated Rs 5 crore to provide financial assistance to prisoners who cannot afford their bail money. This follows the establishment of Legal Service Clinics in prisons under the 'Model Prisons and Correctional Services Act' 2023, offering free legal assistance. The funds will be managed by Legal Services Advocates and Para-Legal Volunteers.
