Difference between

what is the difference between NC and FIR ?

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the distinction between Non-Cognizable Reports (NC) and First Information Reports (FIR). An FIR is filed for cognizable offences, allowing police to investigate and potentially arrest suspects. In contrast, an NC is registered for non-cognizable offences, where the police typically take only a complaint without further immediate action.

Hello,

NC is registered in non congnizable offence and FIR is registered in cognizable offence. If FIR is registered investigation is done by police it may include arrest of accused and in NC case only complaint is registered and no action is taken by police.
