Is FIR Copy Download Available Online in Arunachal Pradesh?
Yes. The Arunachal Pradesh Police Citizen Portal lists Download FIR as a citizen service, and the service description states that FIR Copy Download is provided under the CCTNS project. The National Government Services Portal also describes the Arunachal Pradesh FIR-copy service as fully online, with citizen login or registration required.
However, this does not necessarily mean that every FIR registered in the State will be searchable or downloadable at all times. Online availability can depend on the particular record and the information made available through the police system.
What Information Should You Keep Ready?
- Police Station
- FIR Number
- Year of FIR registration
- Name of the complainant, if relevant
- Other case details, if available
Accurate information makes it easier to locate the correct police record.
FIR Search and FIR Status Are Different
The Arunachal Pradesh Police Citizen Portal currently provides a Download FIR service. This enables citizens to obtain an available copy of an FIR. It should not automatically be described as a complete investigation-status tracking facility.
If you want information about investigation progress, a charge-sheet, court proceedings or other case developments, you may need to approach the concerned police station or investigating officer, or use the appropriate court service.
What If the FIR Is Not Available Online?
If you cannot find or download an FIR, verify the police station, FIR number, FIR year and your login details. If the FIR still cannot be obtained online, contact the concerned police station or Arunachal Pradesh Police for assistance.
The absence of an FIR from an online search does not necessarily mean that no FIR has been registered. The online system may not make every record available for public access, or the record may not be retrievable using the information entered.
Updated FIR Law - Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023
The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (CrPC) was replaced by the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS) with effect from 1 July 2024, subject to statutory transitional provisions.
For current articles, the principal provision concerning information relating to cognizable offences is Section 173 of the BNSS, 2023. It recognises information relating to a cognizable offence being given to the officer in charge of a police station irrespective of the area where the offence was committed, and also recognises information given through electronic communication subject to the statutory requirements.
This should be used instead of referring to old Section 154 CrPC as the current statutory provision.
Can an FIR Be Obtained From the Police if It Is Not Online?
Yes. The online FIR-download facility is an additional means of accessing an FIR. If a particular FIR is not available through the online portal, the person may contact the concerned police authorities and follow the applicable procedure for obtaining a copy. The online portal should therefore not be treated as the only method of obtaining an FIR copy.
Online Complaint and FIR Registration
Arunachal Pradesh Police also provides other online citizen services through its Citizen Portal, including Complaint Registration. An online complaint should not automatically be described as an FIR. Whether an FIR is registered depends upon the nature of the information provided, the applicable law and the action taken by the police.
For cognizable offences, the current statutory framework is contained principally in Section 173 BNSS.
Other Citizen Services Available Online
- Complaint Registration
- Character Certificate
- Employee Verification
- Procession Request
- Event/Performance Request
- Protest/Strike Request
- Tenant Verification
- Domestic Help Verification
- Download FIR
- Missing Person services
