What does the term “Zero FIR” imply under the new law?
FIR can be filed at any police station, regardless of jurisdiction
A Zero FIR allows a complaint to be registered at any police station irrespective of the jurisdiction where the offence occurred; it is later transferred to the police station having actual jurisdiction. This provision, carried forward under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, ensures timely registration of complaints without jurisdictional delays.
