Selling legal for adults but related activities criminalized making practice dangerous.
In de praktijk
The Immoral Traffic Prevention Act 1956 technically allows individual sex work but criminalises brothels, pimping, and kerb crawling. Sonagachi in Kolkata is one of Asia's largest red-light districts. Workers face extreme vulnerability due to the legal framework. Decriminalisation is actively advocated.
