Please Note: If you want to lodge a complaint about major cognizable offences (serious crime or incident), please go to your nearest police station to file an FIR. Please provide all information and any proof while reporting the case. If your complaint is not addressed, escalate the case to higher-ranking police officers. Follow the instructions below.


How to File a Complaint or e-FIR to Mumbai Police?

In Mumbai, you can use the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems (CCTNS) to report incidents online and get help from Mumbai Police. You can make complaints or file e-FIRs (First Information Reports) related to Non-Cognizable Crimes (NCR).

Difference between a police complaint and an FIR:

  1. Police Complaint: A complaint is when you inform the police about a suspected offence, either by talking to them or in writing. It can be for various types of crimes, and there’s no specific format required. The magistrate may investigate, but the police won’t conduct an immediate inquiry.
  2. FIR (First Information Report): An FIR is the first official report, given either verbally or in writing, concerning serious offences at the Police Station. It must be filed following a specific format and can be lodged by anyone. The police will conduct an investigation, and the magistrate can take action based on the report, but only after the police officially register the FIR.

After lodging a complaint, police will start an investigation and then decide to register an FIR (for cognizable crimes like burglary, accident, murder, rape, assault, attempted murder, etc.), create a Non-Cognizable Report known as NCR, or close the case if it gets resolved.

Please note: As per the citizen charter of Maharashtra Police, you should be aware of your rights as a citizen and know how to protect yourself from crimes or mistreatments by the police.

Grievance Redressal

Mumbai Police has a Three-Tier Grievance Redressal Mechanism to redress the complaints or issues related to citizen services. Based on the case, the resolution process begins at the local police station and can be escalated at the level of the Divisional Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP).
