Shivajinagar Police Station is a local police station serving the FC Road, Shivajinagar, Pune area of Pune in Pune district, Maharashtra. It falls within PIN code 411005. Like every police station in India it operates twenty-four hours a day, every day of the year, including public holidays.
Jurisdiction. Shivajinagar Police Station is responsible for Shivajinagar, Model Colony 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.
Shivajinagar Police Station is commanded by a Station House Officer, normally an Inspector in an urban posting such as Pune and a Sub-Inspector in smaller towns. 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.
The caseload at Shivajinagar Police Station reflects its surroundings in Pune — a steady mix of theft and property complaints, road-traffic matters, lost-document reports and routine address verification.
The listed landline for Shivajinagar Police Station is 020-25532488. 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 Shivajinagar 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 Shivajinagar Police Station provides to residents of Pune and the surrounding Pune area.
For any cognizable offence — theft, burglary, assault, fraud, criminal intimidation — Shivajinagar 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 Pune most often need when a phone, wallet, passport or set of vehicle documents goes missing.
Shivajinagar 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 411005 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 Pune 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 Shivajinagar 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 Pune 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 Pune can ask to be added at the front desk.
Getting there. The station is located at FC Road, Shivajinagar, Pune. 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. Round-the-clock opening does not mean round-the-clock availability of attention. The busiest window at Shivajinagar Police Station runs from mid-morning to early afternoon. 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 Shivajinagar 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 Pune 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.
Whether something is an NC or an FIR is fixed by statute, not by an officer's opinion. 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 Pune 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 Pune
| Aspect | FIR (Cognizable) | NC (Non-Cognizable) |
|---|---|---|
| Typical offences | Theft, assault, burglary, fraud, kidnapping | Lost property, nuisance, minor disputes, defamation |
| Court permission needed | No | Yes |
| Can police refuse? | No, for a cognizable offence | They must still record the entry |
| Governing provision | Sec. 173 BNSS | Sec. 174 BNSS |
| Goes to court as | Chargesheet or closure report | Only if a magistrate orders inquiry |
| Investigation starts | Immediately | Only after a magistrate's order |
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.
An FIR can only be registered for a cognizable offence — one serious enough that police may arrest without a magistrate's warrant. Theft, burglary, assault causing hurt, kidnapping, rioting and murder all qualify. For anything less serious a station such as Shivajinagar 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.
Under the 2023 codes you are entitled to a progress update within ninety days. Most state portals also allow status lookup by FIR number.
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.
Government photo ID, documents or bills relating to the incident, photographs, screenshots, and contact details for any witnesses.
Of everything reported to police in Pune, online fraud grows fastest and punishes delay hardest. Money leaving your account passes through mule accounts within minutes. Once withdrawn as cash or converted to crypto, recovery is close to impossible.
That is why 1930 exists. Run under the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre, it plugs into the system that can send a freeze instruction to the receiving bank in near real time. That window is the golden hour.
Call 1930 first — before your bank, before posting about it, before going to a station. Have the transaction ID, amount, time and your account number ready. Follow with a written complaint at cybercrime.gov.in, which returns a trackable acknowledgement number.
You may also report at any station including Shivajinagar Police Station. None may refuse for want of a cyber cell or because the offender is in another state — the loss occurred where you are. Our cybercrime reporting guide walks through the evidence to preserve.
Small payments for 'tasks' that build trust before a large deposit is demanded and vanishes.
Threats to publish intimate images. Report it — the law protects you and your identity is not disclosed.
Your number is ported without consent so OTPs reach the attacker. Sudden loss of signal is the warning sign.
Search-engine results leading to spoofed helpline numbers that talk you into screen-sharing.
Every police station in Pune 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.
This trips people up constantly. 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 Pune.
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.
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 Pune 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.
Public gatherings, processions and loudspeaker use need prior permission from the local station or DCP office.
Verification of drivers, cooks and security staff is mandatory in several states. Most urban forces now accept this online.
States you have no adverse record — required by most immigration authorities. Apply via Passport Seva, not the station directly.
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.
For a lost phone also file on the CEIR portal, which blocks the handset by IMEI across every Indian network and traces it if the SIM is changed.
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.
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.
Challans are largely electronic now. Check and contest them through your state transport portal or Parivahan. A disputed challan goes before a traffic magistrate, not the issuing officer.
There is no waiting period. The twenty-four hour rule is a myth with no basis in law, and the Supreme Court has directed that reports be registered immediately.
Carry a recent photograph, a description of clothing, details of any phone or vehicle, and the names of friends and places frequented.
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.
Your rights do not stop at the station door — that is where they matter most. 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 Shivajinagar 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.
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.
Not noting the officer's details
Record the name, rank and buckle number of whoever handles your matter. Every escalation route asks for it.
Believing the 24-hour myth
There is no waiting period before reporting a missing person. Any station saying otherwise is wrong, and for a child it is seriously wrong.
Deleting the evidence
Screenshots, chat logs, call records and emails are evidence. Embarrassment is not a reason to destroy your own case.
Accepting a verbal refusal
If a station refuses a cognizable offence, ask in writing, then escalate to the SP or a magistrate under Sec. 175(3) BNSS.
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.
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.
Every route to reach the police, and which one suits your situation.

Cybercrime reporting stepsYes. Every police station in India, Shivajinagar Police Station included, must operate a women's helpdesk. A statement about a sexual offence has to be recorded by a woman officer and may be given at a place of the survivor's choosing, including her own home. The women's helpline 1091 and domestic-abuse line 181 both run around the clock.
Women's safety resourcesThe 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.
Yes. Landlords letting property in Pune can submit tenant verification here, and households engaging drivers, cooks or security staff can do the same. It is free, and in many states it is a legal obligation rather than a courtesy. Several state forces now accept the form online.

Send a written complaint to the Superintendent or Deputy Commissioner of Police for Pune by registered post, which Section 173(4) BNSS requires them to act on.
