The primary law dealing with the status of s*x workers is the 1956 law referred to as The Immoral Traffic (Suppression) Act (SITA). According to this law, prostitutes can practise their trade privately but cannot legally solicit customers in public.

The Indian Penal Code (IPC) is often used to charge s*x workers with vague crimes such as "public indecency" or being a "public nuisance" without explicitly defining what these consist of.
