Odisha Police FIR Copy Online: View & Download FIR
Odisha Police provides an online facility to access FIR-related citizen services through its official website and CCTNS Citizen Portal. This updated guide explains how to find the View/Download FIR service, what information may be required and your right to receive a free FIR copy under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS).
Right to a free FIR copy under BNSS Section 173
The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024. Section 173 deals with information relating to cognizable offences.
Under Section 173(2) BNSS, a copy of the information recorded under Section 173(1) must be supplied forthwith and free of cost to the informant or the victim.
For older proceedings governed by the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, the corresponding provision was Section 154(2) CrPC.
How to view or download an Odisha Police FIR copy online
Go to the Government of Odisha Police portal and look for the citizen-services section.
Odisha Police currently lists this service in its public-facing citizen-services menu. If the website layout changes, use the site menu or search function rather than relying on an old bookmarked page.
Odisha Police directs users to the official Citizen Portal at citizenportal-op.gov.in.
Depending on the current portal workflow, you may need to sign in before accessing an FIR copy or related service.
Provide the available case particulars such as district, police station, FIR number and relevant date information when requested by the portal.
Review the displayed case details carefully. If an electronic copy is available, use the portal's download or print option.

Odisha Right to Public Services: FIR copy timeline
Odisha Police's current Right to Public Services page lists "Supply of Copy of FIR to the complainant" with a 1-day service-delivery timeline. The Citizen Portal also provides other police services such as complaint registration, employee verification, tenant verification, missing-person registration and lost-property registration.
If the FIR is not available online
Online availability can depend on the case, portal access, publication restrictions and the data available in the CCTNS system. If you are the informant or victim and cannot obtain the copy online, contact the police station concerned and invoke your right under Section 173(2) BNSS where applicable.
