Website advertising rules for lawyers in India

Lawyers answer to their regulator's advertising and conduct rules as well as to privacy law. This is what Bar Council of India Rule 36 means for your website: testimonials, claims, fees, titles and the details you must show. It applies only to sites of that profession, and only where you are licensed. For the general laws every site in India must follow, see India's laws.
