Indiranagar Police Station is a local police station serving the 100 Feet Road, Indiranagar, Bengaluru area of Bengaluru in Bengaluru Urban district, Karnataka. It falls within PIN code 560038. Like every police station in India it operates twenty-four hours a day, every day of the year, including public holidays.
Jurisdiction. Indiranagar Police Station is responsible for Indiranagar, HAL 2nd Stage area. If an incident took place within that area, this is the station that will investigate it. If it happened elsewhere you may still report it here under the Zero FIR provision, and the file will be transferred to the correct station.
The officer in charge here holds the post of SHO, a rank filled by an Inspector in Bengaluru and by a Sub-Inspector in less densely populated jurisdictions. Both ranks can register an FIR, so you do not need to wait for a particular officer to be on duty before a cognizable offence is recorded.
Stations serving areas like Bengaluru typically handle far more everyday civic work — verification, lost property, disputes — than the serious crime that dominates public perception, and Indiranagar Police Station is no exception.
The listed landline for Indiranagar Police Station is 080-22943055. Use it for non-urgent enquiries — to confirm the station is handling your matter, to ask which documents to bring, or to check whether a particular officer is on duty. Station landlines are not staffed the way an emergency line is, so for anything urgent dial 100 or 112 instead, which routes you to a control room that can dispatch the nearest available unit.
Every service described below is provided free of charge. No officer at Indiranagar Police Station or anywhere else is entitled to charge you a fee for registering a complaint, recording a lost-property report, issuing your copy of an FIR or NC, or carrying out address verification.
A police station handles a far wider range of everyday civic work than most people expect. These are the services Indiranagar Police Station provides to residents of Bengaluru and the surrounding Bengaluru Urban area.
For any cognizable offence — theft, burglary, assault, fraud, criminal intimidation — Indiranagar Police Station must register a First Information Report under Section 173 BNSS. You are entitled to a free copy before you leave.
Non-cognizable matters and lost property are recorded as an NC entry. This is what residents of Bengaluru most often need when a phone, wallet, passport or set of vehicle documents goes missing.
Indiranagar Police Station is required to run a women's helpdesk, and a statement about a sexual offence must be recorded by a woman officer — at a place of the survivor's choosing, including her own home.
Passport applications from PIN 560038 are routed here for verification. The beat constable will visit your address, so keep photo ID, a utility bill and any rental agreement ready.
Landlords in Bengaluru can submit tenant verification here, as can households engaging drivers, domestic workers or security staff. The service is free.
Online fraud can be reported at Indiranagar Police Station regardless of where the offender is located. Call 1930 first — the freeze window on transferred funds is measured in minutes, not days.
Lost documents and belongings are logged and a report issued. Banks, insurers, the RTO and the passport office all require this copy before issuing any duplicate.
Road accidents within the Bengaluru Urban jurisdiction are recorded here. For an accident in progress call 112 first — the control room dispatches both police and ambulance.
Most state forces maintain a senior-citizen register and conduct welfare visits. Elderly residents living alone near Bengaluru can ask to be added at the front desk.
Getting there. The station is located at 100 Feet Road, Indiranagar, Bengaluru. Use the map above for turn-by-turn directions — the Directions button opens your default maps application with the station already set as the destination.
When to go. The doors never close, but the queue is not constant. At Indiranagar Police Station, as at most stations, the heaviest walk-in traffic falls between about 10am and 1pm. If your matter is not urgent, arriving early in the morning or in the late afternoon usually means a shorter wait and an officer with more time to hear you properly.
Who you will meet. Your first contact is the duty officer at the front desk. Explain your matter briefly and they will direct you — to the writer for a report, to the women's helpdesk, or to the SHO for something more serious. If you are unsure whom you need, always start at the front desk rather than wandering the building.
How long it takes. A straightforward lost-property NC generally takes fifteen to thirty minutes. An FIR takes longer, because the officer must record your statement in full and read it back to you. Verification paperwork is usually submitted in a few minutes, with the actual field visit following days later.
Language. You are entitled to have your statement recorded in a language you understand, and to have it read back to you before you sign. Never sign a statement you have not understood, and never sign a blank sheet.
If Indiranagar Police Station is not the right jurisdiction for your matter, or you simply need a station closer to where you are right now, these other stations serve Bengaluru and the surrounding area. Remember that under Zero FIR any of them must record a cognizable complaint regardless of where the offence took place.
NC stands for Non-Cognizable, and it is the most misunderstood term people meet at a police station. An NC is a formal register entry recording that you reported something — for an offence where police cannot investigate or arrest without a magistrate's permission.
The distinction turns on the seriousness of the offence, not on how upset you are. Minor assault without injury, public nuisance, defamation, simple trespass and most neighbour disputes are non-cognizable. Because the power to arrest is a serious intrusion, the law reserves it for graver crimes.
In practice most NCs filed in Bengaluru are not disputes at all — they are lost property. The copy you receive is what your insurer, bank, the RTO or the passport office will demand before issuing a duplicate. Our lost and found guide covers what to do for each document type.
If a station says your matter is “only an NC” but you believe a cognizable offence occurred, say so politely and ask for the refusal in writing. You can then escalate to the Superintendent of Police, or apply to a magistrate under Section 175(3) BNSS.
Commonly filed as an NC in Bengaluru
| Aspect | FIR (Cognizable) | NC (Non-Cognizable) |
|---|---|---|
| Typical offences | Theft, assault, burglary, fraud, kidnapping | Lost property, nuisance, minor disputes, defamation |
| Goes to court as | Chargesheet or closure report | Only if a magistrate orders inquiry |
| Court permission needed | No | Yes |
| Free copy for you | Yes — legally guaranteed | Yes — always ask for it |
| Investigation starts | Immediately | Only after a magistrate's order |
| Can police refuse? | No, for a cognizable offence | They must still record the entry |
Everything the police can lawfully do about a serious crime begins with one document: the First Information Report. It is recorded under Section 173 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, which replaced Section 154 of the old Code of Criminal Procedure. Until an FIR exists the police have no legal basis to investigate, arrest, or seize evidence.
Only a cognizable offence gets an FIR. "Cognizable" means grave enough that an officer may arrest without first obtaining a warrant. Theft, burglary, assault causing hurt, kidnapping, rioting and murder all qualify. For anything less serious a station such as Indiranagar Police Station records a Non-Cognizable entry instead.
You need no lawyer, no stamp paper, no written application and no fee. Walk in, tell the duty officer what happened, and they must write it down, read it back to you in a language you understand, and take your signature or thumb impression.
The one thing never to skip is your free copy. Section 173(2) BNSS entitles every informant to a copy at no cost — anyone asking you to pay is acting unlawfully. Note the FIR number, the date and the recording officer's name; you will need all three for insurance, for court, and for every follow-up. If a station refuses outright, our complaint guide sets out the escalation route to the SP and then to a magistrate.
Do not guess at facts you are unsure of, never sign a blank page, and never sign a statement that has not been read back to you.
Date, time and exact place, what was done and by whom, the value of anything lost, and any injury caused.
Keep the copy safe, note the Investigating Officer's name and number, and ask when to check back on progress.
No time limit applies to a serious offence, though a long unexplained delay may be raised by the defence at trial. Report promptly.
A police station is not one undifferentiated room. Knowing which desk does what gets you to the right person faster.
The front desk is staffed continuously, including at night and on holidays. The duty officer there is your first contact for everything. If unsure whom to see, start here.
The writer or record room keeps the registers: FIR, NC, the general diary logging every event of the day, and the roznamcha recording officers' movements. Your free copy is produced here.
The malkhana is the secured store for seized and recovered property — where anything of yours sits until a court orders its release on superdari. The lock-up holds people in custody, never beyond twenty-four hours without a magistrate, never women overnight without a woman constable, and never a juvenile.
Most stations are busiest between ten and one. If your matter is not urgent, arriving early or late afternoon means a shorter wait — or skip the trip and check which station is actually closest to you first.
The protections Indian law extends to women and children go substantially further than the ordinary rules, and every station — Indiranagar Police Station included — must honour them. Knowing they exist is often the difference between a complaint being taken seriously and being talked out of the door.
Helplines: 1091 women's helpline, 181 domestic abuse, 1098 CHILDLINE, 112 any emergency. All free, all twenty-four hours, all working from a phone with no balance. See every emergency number explained.
Most people's only contact with a police station has nothing to do with crime. It is verification — the background check behind a passport, a tenancy, a job or a licence. Knowing how it runs in Bengaluru will save you weeks. Our guide to contacting the police covers what to prepare for each type.
A far deeper check involving neighbourhood enquiry, medical fitness and references. Expect several weeks.
Certain trades — bars, cyber cafés, hotels, pawnbrokers — need a police no-objection certificate before licensing.
Triggered when you apply at a Passport Seva Kendra. The beat officer visits your address — keep Aadhaar, a utility bill and any rental agreement ready.
Verification of drivers, cooks and security staff is mandatory in several states. Most urban forces now accept this online.
Verification is a free government service. No officer may charge for visiting your address or issuing a report. If asked for money, report it to the state Anti-Corruption Bureau or Vigilance Commission — see our sources and methodology.
Every police station in Bengaluru is assigned a defined geographical area — its jurisdiction. As a rule the station covering the place where the incident happened is the one that investigates, not the station nearest your home.
It is the commonest reason people are sent away from a station and give up. A bag stolen on a train belongs to the Government Railway Police for that section of track. A car broken into in a mall car park belongs to the station covering the mall, even if you live thirty kilometres away. Online fraud follows where the loss occurred — generally wherever you are in Bengaluru.
Zero FIR removes the burden of working this out. Introduced after the Justice Verma Committee, it lets you register an FIR at any station regardless of jurisdiction. The station numbers it zero, records the complaint in full, takes urgent action such as a medical examination, then transfers the file onward.
A station refusing a Zero FIR is not exercising discretion — it is committing an offence under Section 199 BNS, and for sexual offences that carries up to two years. The practical takeaway: in an emergency go to whichever station you can reach fastest. Sorting out jurisdiction is the police's job, not yours.
Road accidents are cognizable. Call 112 immediately and do not move vehicles unless someone needs hospital — Good Samaritan guidelines protect rescuers, and no hospital may refuse emergency treatment or demand payment first.
For a hit-and-run, note whatever registration you can, look for nearby CCTV or dashcam footage, and register an FIR the same day.
Many urban forces now accept lost-article reports online and email a downloadable certificate — worth checking before travelling to a station.
Lost documents and belongings are recorded as an NC, and that copy is what banks, insurers, the RTO and passport authorities require before issuing duplicates.
Carry a recent photograph, a description of clothing, details of any phone or vehicle, and the names of friends and places frequented.
If the person is under eighteen, police must register an FIR at once on the presumption of kidnapping and upload details to TrackChild.
Walking into a police station does not suspend your constitutional rights. Articles 20 and 21, reinforced by the Supreme Court in D.K. Basu v. State of West Bengal (1997), protect every person in India — complainant, witness or arrested person alike, and whether you are at Indiranagar Police Station or anywhere else.
On arrest the officer must state the grounds, wear visible identification of name and rank, and prepare an arrest memo attested by a family member or a respectable local person, recording the time and place. You may have one friend or relative informed.
You must be produced before a magistrate within twenty-four hours excluding travel. Custody beyond that needs judicial authorisation. You may meet a lawyer of your choice during interrogation, and receive a medical examination every forty-eight hours.
Women cannot be arrested before sunrise or after sunset without a magistrate's prior written permission, and any arrest or search of a woman must be by a woman officer — see our women's safety guide. Anyone under eighteen goes before the Juvenile Justice Board, never an ordinary lock-up.
As a complainant, Section 179 BNSS matters too: a woman, anyone under fifteen or over sixty, and anyone with a disability or acute illness cannot be compelled to attend a station outside their district. In those cases the police must come to you.
Paying for a free service
FIRs, NCs, copies and verification are all free. Any demand for money is itself reportable to the Anti-Corruption Bureau.
Signing something you have not read
Never sign a blank sheet or a statement not read back to you in a language you understand. You are entitled to both.
Not noting the officer's details
Record the name, rank and buckle number of whoever handles your matter. Every escalation route asks for it.
Leaving without your free copy
Both an FIR and an NC entitle you to a copy at no cost. Without it you cannot claim insurance, apply for duplicates, or prove you reported anything.
Deleting the evidence
Screenshots, chat logs, call records and emails are evidence. Embarrassment is not a reason to destroy your own case.
Waiting to 'gather more proof'
You do not need a complete case to report. Police have investigative powers you do not — delay only loses evidence.
None of this is legal advice. For a matter already in court, or a serious allegation against you, speak to a qualified advocate. Free legal aid is available to every woman, every child and anyone below the income threshold through the District Legal Services Authority — start with our help guides.

Police jurisdiction across KarnatakaThe Station House Officer is the Inspector or Sub-Inspector currently in command, and the posting changes periodically with transfers, so we do not publish individual officer names. Ask at the front desk, or call ahead. Both an Inspector and a Sub-Inspector can register an FIR, so you need not wait for a specific officer.
Bring a government photo ID such as Aadhaar, a driving licence or passport, plus anything relating to your matter — bills, receipts, agreements, photographs or screenshots — and the contact details of any witnesses. A short written summary with dates and times makes the visit noticeably faster.
It depends on where the incident happened rather than where you live. If the location falls inside this station's jurisdiction, yes. If not, you may still report here — Zero FIR requires Indiranagar Police Station to record a cognizable complaint and forward it to the correct station.
