The Consulate General of India in Dubai will host a free legal counselling camp for Indian nationals in Dubai and the Northern Emirates on Monday, 21 September 2026, from 2pm to 4.30pm at its Consulate Auditorium. The camp, held as part of the Seva Pakhwada service campaign, will offer pro-bono legal advice on civil, labour and personal matters on a walk-in basis with no prior appointment required.
The camp covers topics including labour disputes, family law, property issues and other legal concerns. Indian expats seeking expert consultations outside the camp can book appointments via the 24×7 helpline 80046342 or by email at [email protected]. The Consulate has also warned against scammers who ask for passports, Emirates IDs and biometric data under the guise of official assistance.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The camp coincides with Seva Pakhwada, a 15-day service period from September 17 to October 2 that marks Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday and the anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri. Indian missions abroad typically organise outreach events during this window, with legal aid among the most sought-after services for the 3.5-million-strong Indian community in the UAE, where labour and tenancy disputes are common. The Consulate's warning about data-theft scams reflects a recurring pattern: fraudsters target expats by impersonating official helplines or visa agents. Indians who miss the camp can still access the Pravasi Bharatiya Sahayata Kendra's regular counselling throughout the year.
