Do i pay any fees for filing an FIR regarding loss of driving license?
No. absolutely not. Filing an FIR is free. Please read our FAQ's here on how to file an FIR. Do not pay a bribe if they ask you. Make sure you know the rules and regulations before you approach the police station authorities. The procedure is actually quite simple:
To file an FIR, one has to go to the police station within the jurisdiction of which the cause of action arose or the offence took place.
Every piece of information relating to the commission of offence is to be given to the officer in-charge of the police station. If it is given orally to the officer, he shall reduce it to writing and read it over to the informant to confirm and verify the details.
Every such information has to be signed by the informant after which it is required to be recorded by the officer in a book maintained for this purpose as prescribed by the State Government.
The informant is entitled to receive a copy of the FIR free of cost.
If the officer in-charge of the police station refuses to record the information, you can send the substance of such information, in writing and by post to the Superintendent of Police (SP) concerned. The SP is required to start the investigation himself or direct any other officer subordinate to him to start the investigation.
Make sure you keep a copy of the FIR for yourself.
