Current FIR law: Section 173 BNSS, 2023
The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS) came into force on 1 July 2024. For proceedings governed by the BNSS, Section 173 deals with information relating to the commission of a cognizable offence.
For information concerning a non-cognizable offence, Section 174 BNSS provides a separate procedure. Whether a particular complaint results in an FIR therefore depends on the facts and the legal classification of the alleged offence.
