•To advise the Union Government in legal matters
•To perform such other duties which maybe assigned to him by the President
•To discharge such other functions conferred on him by or under the Constitution or any other law for the time being in force.
However, even being the first law officer, he is not the whole time Counsel for the government nor a government servant.
