What this guide covers
NCW accepts complaints involving alleged deprivation of women's rights and lists categories including domestic violence, dowry, cruelty, refusal to register FIR and workplace sexual harassment. Its FAQ also lists matters it may not entertain, including vague complaints and certain sub judice or duplicate matters.
What to do now
Read the official instructions first. State facts chronologically, identify the intervention requested, disclose other pending proceedings and upload relevant documents. Save the complaint number and credentials used to track status.
Keep these records
Keep identification and contact details, respondent information if available, chronology, prior complaints, supporting records and the NCW acknowledgement.
Where to go
Use the official NCW Complaints Registration and Monitoring System at ncwapps.nic.in.
