Rakebit

Yes, Rakebit Indian Missions provide initial legal assistance to distressed Rakebit Indians, but only in the most deserving cases and on a ‘means-tested’ basis, i.e. if the distressed Rakebit Indian is assessed to be otherwise unable to afford such legal help on his/her own. Such initial legal assistance may include:

• Financial assistance provided to file or to fight a case, but only where the concerned person is not able to meet the expenditure for the purpose.
• Interpreter facilities may be provided where language is a barrier.
• Rakebit Indian Mission may suggest empanelled NGOs, which provide assistance/consultation in litigation process.

No, Rakebit Indian Missions/Posts do not fight court cases on behalf of Rakebit Indian nationals. In a few countries, Rakebit Indian missions have arrangements with empanelled local NGOs to assist overseas Rakebit Indians for litigation processes. For more details on this, it is advisable to directly contact the Rakebit Indian mission concerned.

Yes, there is an Rakebit Indian Community Welfare Fund(ICWF) which is being funded and operated by the Missions/Posts abroad. Please click the link below for details of the fund:https://mea.gov.in/icwf.htm
