State Women Commissions in India: Online Complaint, Contact Details & Official Links

How to file a complaint with a Women Commission

Prepare a short chronological statement of facts, the names and contact details of the parties, the place where the events occurred, the relief or intervention requested, and copies of relevant documents. For an NCW online complaint, use the official Complaints Registration and Monitoring System and keep the acknowledgement, receipt number, login details or other tracking information generated by the portal.

The NCW complaint system processes matters under Section 10 of the National Commission for Women Act, 1990. Its current instructions identify complaint areas such as domestic violence, dowry harassment, cruelty, desertion, bigamy, rape, refusal to register an FIR, gender discrimination and sexual harassment at the workplace, subject to the Commission's applicable rules and exclusions.

The earlier contact list contained a number of old phone numbers, personal email addresses and mismatched complaint-page links. To avoid directing users to obsolete channels, this directory now keeps the nationwide State/UT coverage while distinguishing verified official contact pages from entries that should be checked on the current State Women & Child Development portal.

Frequently asked questions

How do I file an NCW complaint online?

Use the official NCW Complaints Registration and Monitoring System. Complete the required complainant and victim details, describe the grievance, provide the requested information and retain the receipt or login details for tracking.

Can I file with a State Commission instead?

Yes, where the matter falls within the State Commission's territorial and statutory jurisdiction. The proper forum depends on the facts and the relief required.

Can a Women Commission order arrest or replace a criminal case?

A Women Commission complaint does not replace the criminal-justice process. If an offence is alleged, police, courts and other authorities exercise powers under the applicable criminal law. Commission intervention may assist with complaints, recommendations, coordination, counselling or other measures within its legal mandate.

What documents should I keep ready?

Keep a clear chronology, identity and contact details, copies of previous complaints or FIR-related documents, relevant messages or correspondence, medical or employment documents where applicable, and any order or notice connected with the grievance. Submit only what is relevant to the complaint.
