The gap

India's courts are overwhelmed. Most citizens give up.

52 million pending matters. 15 judges per million people. The median consumer complaint takes 647 days. The traditional model was never built for the middle class.

How it works

Four steps. No office visits.

STEP 01

Describe it in your voice

Record a two-minute voice note in Hindi, Tamil, Marathi or any of 22 languages. Bhashini transcribes and translates — you don't type a legal word.

STEP 02

Matched to a verified advocate

A blind algorithm pairs you with a State Bar–enrolled advocate in your jurisdiction. No ratings, no bidding, no ads — just a clean match.

STEP 03

Sign & pay in sixty seconds

Execute your Vakalatnama with Aadhaar eSign. A flat technology fee over UPI. Your lawyer–client privilege begins the moment you sign.

STEP 04

Track every hearing

Live sync with the eCourts system. Get translated WhatsApp alerts before every hearing, with a visual timeline you can actually understand.

Capabilities

A quiet, relentless operating system for your case.

WhatsApp-first intake

Start a case inside the app you already use every day — no downloads, no forms.

Vernacular voice

Speak in your mother tongue. We handle the legal English for you.

Blind advocate matching

Routed only by jurisdiction, practice area, and availability. BCI Rule 36 compliant.

eCourts real-time sync

Every next hearing, order, and cause list flows straight to your phone.

Automated notice drafting

Section 138, consumer, recovery — drafted by AI, authorised by your advocate.

Speed Post dispatch

Statutory notices go via India Post AD, not WhatsApp. Legally admissible proof.

Inside the app

Everything your advocate knows, in your pocket.

Real cases. Real recoveries.

Three cheques bounced on me. I wrote the story in Tamil on a voice note. Ten minutes later I had an advocate, and the notice went out the next day by Speed Post. I recovered every rupee.

The appliance store would not refund me. I had given up. Online Vakil drafted my consumer notice and filed in the district forum. Refund came through in eleven weeks.

Every hearing I used to panic and call my advocate five times. Now I get a translated WhatsApp the night before. I actually sleep.

Questions

The things everyone asks us first.

No. Online Vakil is a neutral intermediary under §79 of the IT Act, 2000. All legal advice comes from your matched, State Bar–enrolled advocate. We run the workflow; they run the law.
Because Bar Council of India Rule 36 strictly prohibits advocates from being rated, ranked or advertised. Any platform that shows such information is exposing its lawyers to disciplinary action. We match blindly on jurisdiction, practice area and availability.
A flat ₹999 technology fee covers your entire case infrastructure — intake, eSign, notice drafting, tracking. Your advocate's professional fee is agreed separately and released from escrow only on verified milestones.
You can request an escalation at any time. Unresponsive advocates are de-listed from the matching pool, and your case is transparently re-routed. The escrow protects you from paying for work that wasn't done.
Yes. All documents are encrypted end-to-end and we're aligned with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. You can export or delete everything — including voice transcripts — from your account page at any time.

You have a case.
We have the workflow.

Two minutes to describe it. Five minutes to match. A lifetime of anxiety, gone.
