Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) Person with an annual income of less than 8 1,00,000
Under Section 12 of the Legal Services Authorities Act 1987 (read with state rules/ NALSA guidelines) free legal aid is available to: (i) any person whose annual income does not exceed the ceiling—commonly ₹1 lakh (some states higher); and (ii) transgender persons with income below ₹2 lakh (specific ceiling notified). There is no blanket coverage for OBCs or for all senior citizens irrespective of income, so only statements 1 and 2 are correct.
