Jammu & Kashmir Police FIR Status Online

How to check an FIR or complaint status, use the official J&K Police Citizen Portal, obtain an FIR copy and understand the current BNSS provisions governing electronic information and FIR copies.

Check J&K Police FIR or Complaint Status

Jammu & Kashmir Police provides public and citizen services through its official website and Citizen Portal. The exact menu name and login flow can change, so use the official J&K Police website rather than relying on an old bookmarked login page.

Important: A complaint acknowledgement, petition number and FIR number are not necessarily the same thing. If no FIR has been registered, the portal may show only complaint/petition information. For urgent matters or where online information is unavailable, contact the concerned police station or J&K Police directly.

Steps to Check FIR Status Online

  1. Open the official J&K Police website. Go to jkpolice.gov.in.
  2. Open Citizen Portal/Public Services. Use the Citizen Portal or the relevant public-service option shown on the official website.
  3. Sign in or register if required. Use your registered mobile number, user credentials or OTP as requested by the official service.
  4. Select the relevant FIR/complaint service. Look for an option relating to complaint status, FIR search, FIR status, citizen complaint or case information.
  5. Enter the requested reference details. Depending on the service, this may include district, police station, year, FIR number, complaint number, mobile number or other identifying information.
  6. Verify the displayed record. Check the police station, FIR number, date, sections and status carefully before relying on the result.
  7. Download or print where the portal permits it. Availability of a downloadable FIR copy can depend on the nature and status of the case and the service made available by police.

Current FIR Law: BNSS 2023

The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 has been replaced for the new criminal-law framework by the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS), which came into force on 1 July 2024.

Section 173 BNSS: information relating to the commission of a cognizable offence may be given orally or by electronic communication to the officer in charge of a police station, irrespective of the area where the offence was committed. If given electronically, it is taken on record on being signed by the person giving it within three days.

Free copy to informant or victim

Under Section 173(2) BNSS, a copy of the information recorded under Section 173(1) is to be given forthwith, free of cost, to the informant or the victim.

Investigation progress

BNSS also contains provisions concerning communication of investigation progress to the informant or victim. Online status displays are useful, but they do not replace formal communications, court records or certified documents where those are legally required.

Official law reference: India Code - search for "Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023".
