DLSA Lakhisarai Para Legal Volunteer Recruitment 2026: Eligibility, Honorarium & How to Apply
The District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), Lakhisarai has invited applications to form a fresh panel of 100 Para Legal Volunteers (PLVs). Please read this first: the notice says plainly that PLV selection is not an appointment to any government job. It is a voluntary, one-year empanelment, and volunteers get an honorarium of ₹750 per working day after their work is assessed.
If you are a Lakhisarai permanent resident, have passed Matric (10th) and want to serve weaker and deprived sections of society, this is for you. Applications go offline by Registered Post only and must be received by 21 November 2026, 5:00 PM. Read every section below, then keep your documents ready. Many readers find such notices through GovtJobsAlert.in, so share this with your friends who may qualify.
Key Highlights of DLSA Lakhisarai Para Legal Volunteer Recruitment 2026
The notice comes from the office of the Chairman, who is the Principal District & Sessions Judge of Lakhisarai. The current panel of 98 PLVs was approved by the Bihar State Legal Services Authority, Patna, for 12 December 2025 to 11 December 2026. A fresh panel has to be ready before that term ends, so this call has been issued under the NALSA Scheme for Para Legal Volunteers (Revised).
