Apart from monthly activity reports, NALSA also receives Annual Reports from all the SLSAs and prepares its own Annual Report, which is laid before both the Houses of Parliament.
Periodical reviews on different issues are also carried out by the Department-Related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances, Law and Justice to assess the delivery of Legal Aid under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987. Further, All India Meets and Regional Meets are frequently organized by NALSA to monitor the performance of Legal Services Authorities.
