It's better you find a real job my friend. Get enrolled in a law school and get a degree, clear the bar exam and then you can help people all you want legally. I hope that answers your question. As far as the services you want to provide people, they come under the purview of legal services, which can send you behind bars. Good luck!

yes you can provide administrative services such as drafting various applications and petitions. you are correct in starting that you cannot issue any legal notice on behalf of your client as that would be a criminal offence of impersonating an advocate. similarly you cannot offer legal advice as well.
