What information is needed for a Haryana FIR search?

The earlier FIR search system required the year of registration, district and police station. It also offered optional fields for the month and FIR number. On the current portal, follow the requirements shown on screen.

• Year: The calendar year in which the FIR was registered.
• District: The police district where the case was registered.
• Police station: The station that recorded the FIR.
• FIR number: Helpful for an exact search, even if the selected service does not always require it.
• Month or date: Useful for narrowing results if the portal offers this field.

If you do not know the police station, use the official Haryana Police directory and citizen services to identify the jurisdiction. You can also contact the police station or investigating officer.

FIR download, free copies and access restrictions

An FIR is the formal record of information relating to a cognizable offence. Section 173(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS) requires that a copy of the information recorded under Section 173(1) be provided forthwith and free of cost to the informant or victim.

This statutory entitlement should not be confused with unrestricted public access to every FIR. Online publication may be withheld for sensitive offences, privacy, victim protection or other lawful reasons. If a record is not available publicly, the informant or victim can seek a copy from the concerned police station; other persons may need to use the appropriate lawful procedure.

Relevant legal provisions under BNSS, 2023

Section 173(1) - Information about a cognizable offence

Information concerning a cognizable offence may be given orally or electronically to the officer in charge of a police station, irrespective of where the offence occurred. This enables Zero FIR. Electronic information must be signed by the informant within three days to be taken on record in the manner provided by the section.

Section 173(2) - Free copy of the FIR

The informant or victim is entitled to receive a copy of the recorded information without charge and without delay.

Section 173(3) - Preliminary inquiry in specified cases

For a cognizable offence punishable with imprisonment of three years or more but less than seven years, the police officer may, subject to the statutory conditions and prior permission of an officer not below the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police, conduct a preliminary inquiry within fourteen days or proceed with investigation.

Section 173(4) - Refusal to record information

A person aggrieved by refusal to record information about a cognizable offence may send its substance in writing and by post to the Superintendent of Police concerned. If the statutory process does not resolve the matter, an application may be made to the Magistrate.

Section 174 - Non-cognizable offences

Where information concerns a non-cognizable offence, the police follow the recording and referral procedure in Section 174. Investigation generally requires an order from a Magistrate. A general online complaint acknowledgement is not automatically an FIR.

For the statutory text, see the official BNSS provisions hosted by NCRB and the Bureau of Police Research and Development explanatory material.

What to do if the FIR is not found online

• Check the district, police station, year and FIR number for errors.
• Confirm that the complaint has actually been registered as an FIR, rather than only acknowledged as a petition or online complaint.
• Allow for administrative upload delays; not all records are immediately searchable.
• Contact the investigating officer or police station for assistance, particularly where publication is restricted.
• For urgent police assistance, call 112. For suspected cyber financial fraud, call 1930 promptly and use the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal.
