-

Where the FIR is available for online access, use the portal option to view or download the FIR copy. Keep a saved copy for your records.
Can FIRs from All Assam Districts Be Searched Online?
The Assam Police online system is intended to provide statewide citizen access. However, availability of a particular FIR can depend on the police station, case, registration date, publication status and records made available through the portal.
It is therefore more accurate to say that FIRs available through the Assam Police online system can be searched or downloaded, rather than guaranteeing that every FIR from every police station will always be publicly accessible online.
Information to Keep Ready
If you do not know the FIR number, use any alternative search option currently provided by the portal.
FIR Search and Investigation Status Are Different
Searching for an FIR generally allows a person to locate the FIR record and, where available, obtain a copy. It should not automatically be described as a facility for obtaining the complete investigation status of a criminal case.
For investigation updates, case progress or other proceedings, contact the concerned police station or investigating officer where appropriate.
Assam Police e-FIR Facility
Assam Police also provides a separate e-FIR service through Seva Setu.
The current Assam Police guidance states that the e-FIR facility is available for categories including:
- Crime against women
- POCSO-related cases
- Vehicle theft
The online e-FIR is verified by the concerned police station. After acceptance, it is converted into an FIR and the citizen can download the FIR copy.
Current FIR Law - BNSS, 2023
The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS) replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 from 1 July 2024, subject to applicable transition provisions.
Section 173 BNSS deals with information relating to cognizable offences. It recognises electronic communication and allows information concerning a cognizable offence to be given irrespective of the area where the offence was committed.
Right to Receive a Copy of the FIR
Section 173 BNSS governs the recording of information relating to cognizable offences and provides for furnishing a copy of the recorded information to the informant.
It is useful to distinguish between:
- Searching or downloading an FIR through the Assam Police website; and
- Obtaining the FIR copy from police in accordance with the BNSS.
What If the FIR Cannot Be Found Online?
If an FIR does not appear in the online search, it does not necessarily mean that no FIR exists.
- Incorrect district selected
- Incorrect police station selected
- Wrong FIR year
- Incorrect FIR number
- The FIR is not available through the online search facility
- The portal has been updated or the procedure has changed
- The particular record is subject to restrictions on online publication or access
Verify the FIR details with the concerned police station or appropriate Assam Police authority if the record cannot be located.
