Regulator-facing index
Advocates Act 1961 — Compliance Hub
Dare to Law is a regulated technology platform — not a law firm and not an advocate marketplace. This page is the single index for the Bar Council of India, regulators, auditors and journalists to inspect every commitment we make under Indian law.

Immutable Compliance Ledger
Every regulated event on Dare to Law — case creation, advocate assignment, KYC verification, engagement-letter signature and payout approval — is recorded in an append-only ledger. Each entry is SHA-256 chained to the previous record, making the trail tamper-evident and verifiable by any third party.
- • Append-only at the database level (no UPDATE / DELETE)
- • SHA-256 hash chaining (prev_hash → entry_hash)
- • Captures actor, role, IP and User Agent
- • One-click JSON export for BCI / regulator inspection
