What to Do When You Reach the Station
Knowing the process before you walk in makes the visit faster and protects your rights.
- 1
Ask for the duty officer
Every station has an officer on duty 24×7 at the front desk. Start there.
- 2
State your matter clearly
Explain what happened, where and when. Bring any evidence, photos or documents.
- 3
Know FIR vs NC
Cognizable offences require an FIR the police cannot refuse. Minor matters are recorded as an NC.
- 4
Collect your free copy
You are legally entitled to a free copy of the FIR. Always insist on it before leaving.
- 5
Note the reference number
Record the FIR or NC number — you will need it for follow-ups, insurance and court.
Women & Child Safety
Every police station in India is required to maintain a Women Helpdesk. Complaints of harassment, domestic violence, stalking or assault must be registered immediately and cannot be delayed for jurisdiction reasons.
Zero FIR: A woman can register an FIR at any police station, even if the incident took place elsewhere. The station must accept it and transfer it to the correct jurisdiction.
