The question asks for the incorrect statement. Statement A is incorrect. The Chief Justice of India is the *Patron-in-Chief* of NALSA. The Executive Chairman of NALSA is a serving or retired judge of the Supreme Court nominated by the President in consultation with the Chief Justice of India. The Executive Chairman is the active head responsible for the Authority’s functioning.

The Chief Justice of India is the Patron-in-Chief, not the Executive Chairman, of the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA).

NALSA provides free legal aid to eligible persons, organizes Lok Adalats for alternative dispute resolution, and works to raise legal awareness. It aims to ensure that justice is not denied to any citizen merely on the grounds of economic or other disabilities. State Legal Services Authorities (SLSAs), District Legal Services Authorities (DLSAs), and Taluk Legal Services Committees are established at lower levels to implement these objectives.
