Digital card proving your right to free water and restroom access under the Serais Act.
YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
Under the Serais Act, 1867
Any person can ask for free drinking water at hotels, restaurants, and serais. They cannot refuse or charge you.
Public establishments must allow use of washroom facilities. This is considered a basic human right.
Legal Background
The Serais Act, 1867 requires innkeepers and hotel proprietors to provide basic amenities including drinking water to travelers.
Article 21 of the Indian Constitution guarantees the Right to Life, which has been interpreted by courts to include access to clean drinking water.
The Supreme Court of India has repeatedly held that access to clean water is a fundamental right.
What to Say If Refused
"Under the Serais Act and Article 21 of the Constitution, I have a right to drinking water. Please provide me water, or I will be compelled to file a complaint with the local authorities and consumer forum."
If Still Refused
While this right exists, please be respectful. This is for genuine need, not to misuse facilities. This tool provides legal information based on Indian laws. For serious matters, consult a registered Advocate.
