About Pattikonda Police Station
Pattikonda Police Station is a local police station serving the SH384, Pattikonda, Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh area of Pattikonda in Kurnool district, Andhra Pradesh. It falls within PIN code 518380. Like every police station in India it operates twenty-four hours a day, every day of the year, including public holidays.
Pattikonda Police Station is commanded by a Station House Officer, normally an Inspector in an urban posting such as Pattikonda 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 Pattikonda Police Station reflects its surroundings in Kurnool — a steady mix of theft and property complaints, road-traffic matters, lost-document reports and routine address verification.
A direct landline for Pattikonda Police Station is not currently listed in our index. For any emergency, dial 100 or 112, which connects you to the Andhra Pradesh police control room and can dispatch a unit to your location. For non-urgent matters, visiting the station in person is the most reliable route, or contact the Kurnool district police office.
Every service described below is provided free of charge. No officer at Pattikonda 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.
Services Available at Pattikonda Police Station
A police station handles a far wider range of everyday civic work than most people expect. These are the services Pattikonda Police Station provides to residents of Pattikonda and the surrounding Kurnool area.
Registering an FIR
For any cognizable offence — theft, burglary, assault, fraud, criminal intimidation — Pattikonda Police Station must register a First Information Report under Section 173 BNSS. You are entitled to a free copy before you leave.
Filing an NC
Non-cognizable matters and lost property are recorded as an NC entry. This is what residents of Pattikonda most often need when a phone, wallet, passport or set of vehicle documents goes missing.
Women's helpdesk
Pattikonda 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 & address verification
Passport applications from PIN 518380 are routed here for verification. The beat constable will visit your address, so keep photo ID, a utility bill and any rental agreement ready.
Tenant & staff verification
Landlords in Pattikonda can submit tenant verification here, as can households engaging drivers, domestic workers or security staff. The service is free.
Cybercrime complaints
Online fraud can be reported at Pattikonda 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 & found reports
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.
Traffic & accident reports
Road accidents within the Kurnool jurisdiction are recorded here. For an accident in progress call 112 first — the control room dispatches both police and ambulance.
Senior citizen assistance
Most state forces maintain a senior-citizen register and conduct welfare visits. Elderly residents living alone near Pattikonda can ask to be added at the front desk.
Visiting Pattikonda Police Station: What to Expect
Getting there. The station is located at SH384, Pattikonda, Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh. 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 Pattikonda 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.
What to carry with you
- A government photo ID — Aadhaar, driving licence, voter card or passport
- Any documents relating to your matter: bills, receipts, agreements, prescriptions
- Photographs or screenshots, with the originals kept on your device
- Names and phone numbers of any witnesses
- A written summary of what happened, with dates and times, so nothing is forgotten
- A pen — and a second copy of anything you are handing over
NC or FIR — Which One Applies to My Complaint?
NC stands for Non-Cognizable, and it is the term visitors most often leave still not understanding. 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.
What decides the category is the gravity of the offence in law, not how serious it feels. 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 Pattikonda 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 Pattikonda
- Missing vehicle registration or insurance papers
- A lost passport, PAN card or driving licence
- A minor boundary or parking dispute with a neighbour
- A pre-emptive record before a dispute escalates
- Misplaced government ration or pension documents
| Aspect | FIR (Cognizable) | NC (Non-Cognizable) |
|---|---|---|
| Arrest without warrant | Permitted | Not permitted |
| Governing provision | Sec. 173 BNSS | Sec. 174 BNSS |
| Free copy for you | Yes — legally guaranteed | Yes — always ask for it |
| 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 |
Filing an FIR at Pattikonda Police Station: What Actually Happens
An FIR — First Information Report — is the document that sets the criminal justice system in motion. 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.
The test is whether the offence is cognizable: serious enough to justify arrest without a warrant. Theft, burglary, assault causing hurt, kidnapping, rioting and murder all qualify. For anything less serious a station such as Pattikonda 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.
What to carry
Government photo ID, documents or bills relating to the incident, photographs, screenshots, and contact details for any witnesses.
Language rights
Your statement must be recorded in a language you understand and read back before you sign. Ask for this — it is not optional.
Is there a deadline?
No time limit applies to a serious offence, though a long unexplained delay may be raised by the defence at trial. Report promptly.
What to state
Date, time and exact place, what was done and by whom, the value of anything lost, and any injury caused.
What Actually Happens Inside a Police Station?
Stations divide into functions, not one open counter. Heading to the right one saves a long wait in the wrong queue.
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.
Do I Need to Visit a Station for Passport Verification?
For the majority of residents in Pattikonda, the only reason they ever deal with police is paperwork: the check underpinning passports, tenancies and job offers. Knowing how it runs in Pattikonda will save you weeks. Our guide to contacting the police covers what to prepare for each type.
Event and protest permission
Public gatherings, processions and loudspeaker use need prior permission from the local station or DCP office.
Character certificate
Often required for government jobs and licences. Issued by the station covering your address after a routine record check.
Police Clearance Certificate
States you have no adverse record — required by most immigration authorities. Apply via Passport Seva, not the station directly.
Domestic staff checks
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.
Traffic, Missing Persons and Lost Property in Pattikonda
Traffic matters
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.
Lost and found
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.
Many urban forces now accept lost-article reports online and email a downloadable certificate — worth checking before travelling to a station.
Missing persons
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.
What Should a Woman Know Before Going to a Police Station in Pattikonda?
The protections Indian law extends to women and children go substantially further than the ordinary rules, and every station — Pattikonda 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.
For women
- Domestic violence falls under the 2005 Act, allowing protection, residence and monetary relief orders.
- A woman cannot be arrested between sunset and sunrise without a magistrate's written permission.
- Workplace harassment is covered by the POSH Act, 2013, which requires an Internal Committee at every employer.
- A survivor with a disability may have an interpreter or special educator present, and the statement must be video recorded.
- Zero FIR applies fully — any station must record the complaint regardless of jurisdiction.
For children
- The officer recording a POCSO statement must not be in uniform, and the child must never be made to meet the accused.
- Details of a child victim may not be published in any form, including on social media.
- Children in conflict with the law go before the Juvenile Justice Board, never a regular lock-up.
- Reporting a known or suspected sexual offence against a child is legally compulsory — silence is itself punishable.
- A child's statement should be recorded at home or another place where the child feels safe.

How Do I Report Online Fraud in Pattikonda?
Nothing reported in Pattikonda rewards speed the way cyber fraud does. 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 Pattikonda 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.
Fake customer care
Search-engine results leading to spoofed helpline numbers that talk you into screen-sharing.
UPI & bank fraud
Fake collect-requests and calls impersonating bank staff asking for an OTP. No bank ever asks for an OTP.
Digital arrest scam
Callers posing as police, CBI or customs claiming you are implicated and demanding money. No agency works this way.
Matrimonial fraud
Long-running fake relationships on matrimonial sites ending in a money request.
Do My Rights Change Inside a Police Station?
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 Pattikonda 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.
What Should I Avoid Doing at a Police Station?
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.
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.
Deleting the evidence
Screenshots, chat logs, call records and emails are evidence. Embarrassment is not a reason to destroy your own case.
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.
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.
