It is a matter of immense pleasure for me to bring out the 24th edition of “Finger
Print in India” which has the data compiled for the year 2020. NCRB has been publishing
“Finger Print in India” since the year 1997.
This publication contains details of the important cases solved by the Central Finger
Print Bureau (CFPB) in NCRB as well as State Finger Print Bureaux (SFPBx) through the use
of Finger Print Science. It also carries information on transactional activities of State FPBx
such as number of visits of FP experts to scenes of crime, number of chance prints lifted from
those sites, number of convicts’ fingerprints enrolled, number of arrestee slips processed to
ascertain their criminal history, number of document cases examined and expert opinion
furnished, etc.
It is matter of satisfaction to note that during the year 2020, Finger Prints Units in the
country visited 49,453 crime scenes and were able to match the chance prints in 2,768 cases.
As regards matching of arrested persons fingerprints, their traces were found in 39,903 cases
against 5,13,257 searches. State Finger Print Bureaux also received 38,663 fingerprint slips of
convicted persons for recording during the year. CFPB also furnished opinion in 175
documents cases and State FPBx furnished opinion in 1,153 documents cases after examining
fingerprints during this year.
Information contained in this publication regarding fingerprints and statistics of the
same will help law enforcement agencies and researchers alike. The primary aim of Finger
Print Science is to identify a suspect/person through the analysis and comparison of his /her
fingerprint ridges, as fingerprints are unique to a person. The fingerprint evidence in a court
of law is governed by Section 45 of the Indian Evidence Act.
National Automated Fingerprints Identification System (NAFIS) Project, a new
flagship project being launched in the country, aims to create a national searchable database
of criminal fingerprints. A total number of 27, 77,689 FP slips have been migrated into
NAFIS database as on 31.12.2020. NAFIS hardware has been delivered and installed in all
the State Finger Print Bureaux and district/Commissionerates. Proof of technology event was
organized in the month of August, 2020 to demonstrate NAFIS solution to all the DGsP &
Commissioners of State/UTs and Directors of SFPBx. Implementation of NAFIS will greatly
reduce the time and efforts of fingerprint community as the tiresome task of sending physical
fingerprint slips to SFPB/CFPB will be completely eliminated. Further, chance prints as well
as arrestee slips will now be processed at every district Hqrs online instead of depending on
SFPB/CFPB.
The XXI All India Conference of Directors of Finger Print Bureaux was organized on
13 - 14 October, 2020 at NCRB Hqrs on online platform with 133 delegates attending from
various Finger Print Bureaux, CFSL - CBI, NIA, FSLs, post graduate and research students
from colleges and universities. This conference deliberated on the latest emerging trends in
lifting the fingerprints from crime scene, automation of fingerprint data and their utilization.
I take this opportunity to compliment Central Finger Print Bureau team in NCRB for
their efforts in bringing out this publication. I also compliment all State/UT Finger Print
Bureaux for supplying data timely. I am sure that the present edition of this annual report
will be found useful by all stake holders. Suggestions, if any, for improving the future editions
are welcome.

ACTIVITIES OF CFPB
The Central Finger Print Bureau is an apex body in the country which co-
ordinates, guides, monitors, and provides technical support to the State Finger Print
Bureaux, as well as investigation agencies and international organizations like
INTERPOL in all matters related to Finger Print Science.
On the recommendation of the National Police Commission in the year 1986,
CFPB fingerprint database was automated- by gradually digitizing the existing manual
records - with the installation of the country’s first Automated Fingerprint
Identification System (FACTS 1.0) in 1992 at NCRB HQ at New Delhi. Automation of
the fingerprinting technology has been the agenda of scientific and industrialist peers in
order to provide the law enforcement agencies with the best of the tools and techniques
to maintain highest possible decorum of law and order. As there is a need of fast and
robust system to handle large number of data and cope up with latest emerging trends
in the era of Finger print science, MHA has taken a call to procure latest system for
replacement of FACTS in the country. NCRB has conceptualized and implementing
National Automated Finger Print Identification system (NAFIS), a robust system which
will be a game changer for the Finger Print Fraternity & will enable the State/UTs/Law
Enforcement agencies to upload/trace/retrieve their data in real time on a 24X7 basis on
the server placed in the NCRB.
As NAFIS being implemented, FACTS-5 server was terminated and complete
work flow has been switched to NAFIS. As on 31.12.2020, NAFIS has a data base of
27,77,689 of migrated data from various State/UT’s.
The Bureau imparts training in various aspects of Finger Print Science to police
and non-police personnel coming from States/UTs. The Bureau is also mandated to
conduct All India Board Examination (AIBE) annually for the accreditation of Finger
Print Experts. All India Conference of Directors of Finger Print Bureaux of States/UTs
is also organized by CFPB. The conference provides a forum for Finger Print
professionals to deliberate on recent advancements in the field of Finger Print science
and other issues concerning the Finger Print fraternity of the nation. CFPB has a branch
at Kolkata which is mainly organizing training courses for the North Eastern States and
examining the questioned documents.
A. National Automated Finger Print Identification System (NAFIS)
The NCRB is implementing a National Automated Fingerprint Identification
System (NAFIS), a web-based application envisages an expansion of data capturing,
processing & search facility of the existing AFIS enabling the State/UTs/Law
Enforcement agencies to also upload their data in real time on a 24X7 basis on the
server placed in the NCRB.
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Print in India-2020 Page 4
The NAFIS project will be an improvement of the AFIS processing capability
and also in case of integration with other biometric devices. The advent of portable live
scan fingerprint devices makes it possible to bring fingerprint-based identification to
remote site and field related applications. The potential for forensic advances as a result
of this automated remote capability is enormous, particularly when considered as a
latent print identification tool.
❖ Hardware, Connectivity and commissioning:
Solution provider has delivered 1381 work stations under NAFIS Project.
Connectivity has been established between Rajasthan Finger Print Bureau and NAFIS
data centre. The NAFIS Solution along with the allied hardware has been installed at

and User Guides have been prepared. 28 officers of Central Finger Print Bureau were
trained in NAFIS during the calendar year.
➢ Migration
Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Karnataka & Madhya Pradesh have
extracted their AFIS data in the desired format and submitted for migration
into NAFIS database. Total of 27,77,689 Fingerprint slips have been
migrated into NAFIS as on 31st December,2020.
➢ Digitization:
Digitizations of finger Print slips under NAFIS project were carried out
at NCRB Headquarter, Uttar Pradesh FPB and Madhya Pradesh FPB.
Digitization, where manpower is required was hampered by the COVID-19
restriction such as Lockdown, Social distancing, containment Zones (Hot
spots) etc,. Even after major obstacles, the teams were self sufficient and
following all the guidelines issued by State/Central, tried to reach the desired
target of digitization activity.
State/UT’s such as Andaman & Nicobar, Bihar, Chhattisghar, Sikkim,
Uttarkhand, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh and Jharkhand have forwarded the
slips to NCRB, which have been digitized and migrated to NAFIS. A total of
63,405 slips that were digitized at NCRB Hqrs have been migrated in to
NAFIS.
At Uttar Pradesh FPB and Madhya Pradesh FPB, NAFIS solution
provider has established the manpower to digitize the data of 1,09,734 FP
slips (UP) and 97,526 slips (MP) under the supervision of SFPB staff. A total
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Print in India-2020 Page 5
of 2,07,260 slips have been digitized at both the Bureaus as on 31st
December,2020.
❖ User Acceptance Test:
User Acceptance Test (UAT) was carried out from 18.05.2020 to 03.06.2020.
During this period, customized version of National Automated Finger Print
Identification System (NAFIS) was installed at NCRB Headquarter for conducting
User Acceptance Test (UAT). 77 test cases were prepared for this UAT and all these
test cases were executed.

ANALYSIS OF FP TRANSACTION ACTIVITIES
Fingerprint science has evolved to be an indispensable part of not only the criminal justice
system, but also the governance in counties around the world. Worldwide scientific peer groups
are working along in order to utilize the science of fingerprints in as many ways as possible. This
chapter deals with the analysis of cumulative factors such as conviction rate, population of the
states, reasons of discrepancies in the data provided and an inter-comparison of data procured
from the State Finger Print Bureaux along with the depiction of major activities such as Record
slips, Search slips, Document cases and Chance prints at a glance. S. No. States/UTs No. of Record

Graph No.1 NUMBER OF FP RECORD (CONVICTION) SLIPS RECORDED IN THE YEAR
2020 (STATE WISE)
Graph 1 State of Punjab has highest number of conviction slips recorded in the year 2020.Majority of the
states except Punjab, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh have remained underperformers with figures in
hundreds and a few thousands whereas the crime rate ranges to tens of thousands. The states are also
lagging behind in the count of conviction slips. North eastern states, except Assam & Mizoram, have
recorded not even one conviction slip in the year 2020.Except Delhi and Puducherry, no other UT
possesses an AFIS which accounts for the lack of information being received.

Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal have recorded much lesser number of FP
Arrestee slips as compared to their mere size (area wise), population and number of crime incidences. 07
states have nil record slips accepted during the year 2020. Some of the States/UTs are under the process

PIONEERS OF FINGERPRINT SCIENCE
There are records of fingerprints being taken many centuries ago. Ancient artifacts with
carvings similar to friction ridge skin have been discovered in many places throughout the world.
The ancient Babylonians pressed the tips of their fingertips into clay to record business
transactions. Thumbprints were used on clay seals in China to “sign” documents. A petro glyph
located on a cliff face in Nova Scotia depicts a hand with exaggerated ridges and finger whorls,
presumably left by the Mi'kmaq people.
With the advancement in the field of Identification/ Investigation, many of the Scientists/
Investigators worked, whose contributions are listed below:
Dr. NEHEMIAH GREW (1641-1712)
➢ English Plant Morphologist, Considered as “Father of Plant
Anatomy”.
➢ Studied and described the ridges, furrows, and pore structure of
friction skin.
➢ Published very accurate drawings of the Finger Print patterns and areas of the palms.
➢ Did not address uniqueness or permanence of the ridges.
MARCELLO MALPHIGHI (1628-1694)
➢ First to see the capillaries and was a founder of histology,
embryology, plant anatomy, and comparative anatomy.
➢ Used a microscope for the first time to examine friction skin and
made observations as to its structure.
➢ Malphighian layer of skin named after him, for his research
contributions.
➢ Did not address uniqueness or permanence of friction ridges.
Dr. J.C.A. MAYER (1747-1801)
➢ Authored a book on human anatomy and anatomical
illustrations. The book is one of the earliest recordings
supporting the uniqueness of fingerprints.
➢ The book included drawings of friction skin and this is still a
valid statement ;

Finger Print in India-2020 Page 142
“Although the arrangements of skin ridges are never
duplicated in two persons, nevertheless the similarities are
closer among some individuals. In others the differences are
marked, yet in spite of their peculiarities of arrangement all
have certain likeness.”
This statement has been verified by all other medical and
scientific researchers of friction skin.
Dr. JOHANNES E. PURKINJE (1787–1869)
➢ At Breslau he created the world's first Independent
Physiology department and the first official Physiology
laboratory.
➢ He discovered the Purkinje effect, Purkinje cells, and
Purkinje fibers.
➢ He wasthe first to give regular classification of Fingerprint
patterns into nine categories which is as follows:
Sir WILLIAM JAMES HERSCHEL (1833-1917)
➢ He experimented with the idea of using a hand print as a
signature by a man named Rajyadhar Konai put a stamp of his
right hand on the back of a contract. The contract was received
and accepted as valid.
➢ He instituted taking fingerprints of both pensioners and
criminals so that it is not carried out by imposters.
➢ He was the first person to use Hand Prints/ Finger Prints officially.
➢ He published an account of his work entitled 'The Origin of Fingerprinting'.
Dr. HENRY FAULDS (1843–1930)
➢ British surgeon and Superintendent of Tsuki ji Hospital in
Tokyo.
➢ Wrote an article that discussed fingerprints as a means of
identification.
➢ A:Transverse curves,
➢ B:Central
longitudinal stria,
➢ C: Oblique stria,
➢ D: Oblique sinus,
➢ E: Almond
➢ F: Spiral,
➢ G: Ellipse or elliptical
whorl,
➢ H:Circle or circular
whorl, and
➢ I: Double whorl
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Print in India-2020 Page 143
➢ He published a paper on the subject titled ‘On the Skin-Furrows of the Hand’, in the
scientific journal ‘Nature’ and it was the first scientific literature to suggest the basic
concepts of the fingerprint system of identification.
➢ In an article, Faulds proposed using friction ridge individualization at crime scenes and gave
two practical examples.
➢ Recommended Printer’s Ink for recording of fingerprints.
SIR FRANCIS GALTON (1822-1911)
➢ He was an English explorer and anthropologist best known for his
research in Eugenics and Human Intelligence.
➢ Established that friction ridge skin was unique and persistent.
➢ Defined & Named each Peculiar characteristics /Minutiae/ Ridge
Characteristics
➢ Wrote book on “Fingerprints” in 1892 and “Decipherment of Blurred Fingerprints”
IVÁN (JUAN) VUCETICH (1858-1925)
➢ His classification system and individualization of prisoners through
the use of fingerprints were the first practical uses of the Finger
Print science by law enforcement personnel.
➢ He made the first positive identification of a criminal in a case
where Francisca Rojas had killed her two children and then cut her
throat, trying to put the blame on the outside attacker. A blood print
identified her as the killer.
SIR EDWARD RICHARD HENRY (1850-1931)
➢ Inspector General of Police for the Lower Provinces in Bengal.
➢ Considered as Father of Modern Finger Print Science.
➢ With the help of Indian Police Officers Khan Bahadur Azizul
Haque, and Rai Bahadur Hem Chandra Bose, the Henry
classification system was developed.
➢ Went before an inquiry committee to convince them to change to
fingerprinting of criminals instead of using the Bertillon Method.
➢ Established the Metropolitan Police Finger Print Bureau, which
Was Britain's first.
➢ Published a book “The Classification and Use of Finger Prints.”
AZIZUL HAQUE (1872 – 1935)
➢ Officer-in-charge of the Anthropometric Bureau at Calcutta
➢ Helped in devising the classification formula on a mathematical

➢ Created a telegraphic code for communicating classification.
➢ Was awarded the title “Rai Bahadur”
➢ Wrote a book called “Finger PrintCompanion”
EDMOND LOCARD (1877-1966)
➢ Formulated the basic principle of forensic science: "Every contact
leaves a trace".
➢ Developed the science of Poroscopy.
➢ Established the first rules of the minimum number of minutiae
necessary for identification. He said that if 12 specific points were
identical between two fingerprints, it would be sufficient for
positive identification.

Any other person whose finger prints are ordered to be maintained by the Govt. of India from
time to time, subject to the provisions of the Identification of prisoners Act (act XXXIII of 1920).
"When the Court has to form an opinion upon a point of foreign law, or of science or art,
or as to identity of handwriting or finger impressions, the opinions upon that point of persons
especially skilled in such foreign law, science or art, or in questions as to identify of handwriting
or finger impressions are relevant facts. Such persons are called Experts".
Section 293 of Cr. P.C. states as follows:
1) Any document purporting to be a report under the hand of a Government scientific expert
to whom this section applies, upon any matter or thing duly submitted to him for
examination or analysis and report in the course of any proceeding under this code may be
used as evidence in any inquiry, trial or other proceeding under this code.
2) The Court may, if it thinks fit, summon and examine any such expert as to the subject-
matter of his report.
3) Where any such expert is summoned by a Court, and he is unable to attend personally, he
may, unless the court has expressly directed him to appear personally, depute any
responsible officer working with him to attend the court, if such officer is conversant with
the facts of the case and can satisfactorily depose in court on his behalf.
4) This section applies to the following Government Scientific Experts, namely:
a) Any Chemical Examiner or Assistant Chemical Examiner to Government.
b) The Chief Inspector of Explosives.
c) The Director, Finger Print Bureau.
d) The Director, Haffkine Institute, Bombay.
e) The Director of a Central Forensic Science Laboratory or a State / UT Forensic

To ascertain, whether a finger print is that of a person by whom it purports to have been
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Print in India-2020 Page 146
made, the court may direct any person present in the court to record his finger prints for the
purpose of enabling the court to compare the finger prints alleged to have been made by such
person. When given by recognized finger print experts, evidence as to the identification of
persons by means of finger prints left at the scene of crime, is a fact. Summon from court is
received whenever, court requires the services of experts either to prove the identity of the
accused person or to give evidence in case in which experts opinion has already been furnished
by the Bureau.

IMPORTANT COURT VERDICTS ON FINGER PRINT EVIDENCE
1. Supreme Court Ruling of 1961 : [State of Bombay Vs. Kathikalu Oghad AIR 1961 SC
1808]
A thumb impression of an accused taken by the police in course of investigation which
was later on produced at the trial did not amount to testimonial compulsion under Article 20(3)
and was not on that account inadmissible. It held that the application of finger prints in the
identification of persons does not violate the fundamental rights under Article 20(3) of the
constitution. It was further held that to be a witness in its wider sense means giving an oral or
written statement but does not amount to exposing a part of the body for the purpose of
identification.
2. Supreme Court Ruling of 1972 : [AIR 1972 SC 975]
“The comparison and identification of finger prints has developed into a science and the
results derived there from have reached a stage of exactitude. As long as the report shows that the
opinion was based on observations which led to a conclusion, such opinion can be accepted.”
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Print in India-2020 Page 149
“Unless there is a doubt as to the correctness of the opinion, the report of the examiner may be
accepted without examination of the expert.”
3. Supreme Court Ruling of 1978: [Mohanlal Vs. Ajit Singh AIR July1978 SC 1183]
The Hon’ble Supreme Court ruled that an opinion based on 08 identical ridge
characteristics was fully justified and conformed to the views expressed in scientific books on the
subject.
“Nothing substantial has been urged to challenge the opinion of the director of the Finger
Print Bureau and all that has been argued is that as there were only 8 points of similarity, there
was not enough basis for the expert’s opinion about the identity of finger prints. Reference in this
has been made to B.L Saxena’s ‘Identification of handwriting, disputed documents, finger prints,
foot prints and detection of forgeries’ (1968 edition, page 247), Walter R. Scott’s ‘Finger print
mechanics’(page 62) and M.K. Mehta’s ‘The identification of thumb impression and the cross
examination of finger print experts’ (second edition, page 28). We have gone through these books
but they do not really support the argument of the learned counsel for the respondent. While
referring to the old practice of looking for a minimum of 12 identical characteristic details,
Saxena has admitted that the modern view is that 6 points of similarity are sufficient to establish
the identity of finger prints. Walter Scott has stated that as a matter of practice most experts who
work with finger prints constantly satisfy themselves as to the identity with 8 or even 6 points.”
The larger surface of the fully rolled impression not only allows accurate classification but it also
gives more points for comparison. (For representative purpose only)
4. Supreme Court Ruling of 1979: [Jaspal Singh Vs. State of Punjab AIR 1979 SC 1708]
“The science of Finger print identification is an exact science and does not admit of any
mistake or doubt.”

Annexure-III
Recommendations of XXI All India Conference of Directors of FPBx held on online
platform Webex on 13th& through 14th October, 2020
1. NAFIS:
a. NCRB informed that two rounds of NAFIS User Acceptance Test have been conducted
and installation of NAFIS equipment in the State FPB/Districts/Commissionarete is in
progress. It was informed that post Go-Live, criminals can be taken to nearby District
Hqrs for live enrolment through Fingerprint Enrolment Device(FED) while
the fingerprints of other criminals obtained in paper have to be sent to District Hqrs for
digitization.
b. NCRB explained the functions of enrolment Operator, Chance print Expert and
Administrator under NAFIS. All States/UTs were requested to identify the officials for
performing these activities, so that necessary training can be imparted to them.
c. Karnataka informed that in their AFIS(NEC system), it is possible to send good ten prints
directly to database and only poor prints are being checked by FP Experts. NCRB clarified
that such a provision exists in NAFIS also.
d. Regarding the replication of State AFIS data into NAFIS, it was informed that Solution
Provider is yet to develop the required bridge software. Advanced States were requested to
send their specific requirements for incorporating the same in the bridge software.
e. All States/UTs were requested to extend the necessary support to the NAFIS Solution
Provider by arranging the office space, stable power supply, network connectivity in the
Districts, Commissionarete and State FPBx for smooth commissioning. Regarding final
sign off, NCRB informed that detailed guidelines will be shared to the NAFIS Nodal
Officers along with check-list.
f. On a question about FED procurement for the police stations etc, NCRB informed that
issue will be taken up in phase-II which is immediately after the NAFIS is made
operational.
(NCRB, States, UTs)
2. Director of FPB should be a FP expert:
The Conference deliberated as whether Fingerprint Bureau needs to be headed by only
FP expert. The house was informed that the decision on the issue had already been
unanimously taken in XX Conference and accordingly, NCRB has sent an advisory to all
the states. Some of the state delegates reported that Director post remain vacant for
substantial period and it was unanimously decided that NCRB should send an advisory to
fill the vacant post of Director early.
(NCRB)
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Print in India-2020 Page 151
3. Modernization of FPBx:
Conference discussed about the difficulties experienced in getting funds under Police
Modernization scheme for Fingerprint equipments. It was suggested that NCRB should
take up the matter with MHA for allocating certain funds exclusively for procurement of
Fingerprint equipment under Police Modernization scheme keeping in view the
necessity to modernize the Fingerprint Laboratories. NCRB informed that there is
flexibility for States in asking assistance under any or many of the heads and earmarking
of funds under specific heads may not be a good idea.
(NCRB)
4. Regulation of Private experts:
NCRB informed that a committee was constituted under the chairmanship of Joint
Director (CCTNS), NCRB with members from Punjab, Haryana, Maharashtra, Delhi
and Himachal Pradesh, for examining a legal sanctity of private fingerprint experts
giving opinion in different Courts under Section 45 Indian Evidence Act. It was
informed that due to COVID not much of progress was made. Conference resolved that
the same committee may continue and finish the task.
(NCRB, Punjab, Maharashtra, Haryana, Delhi and HP)
5. FP Records of Arrestees:
Few delegates expressed the necessity to follow uniform procedure across the country
for arrestee slip maintains as some States are removing the slips immediately after
furnishing the previous criminal antecedents whereas others are retaining such slips.
Conference decided that, FP slips of arrested persons should be retained until there is
request from the concerned authorities for removal of such slips or information
regarding details of acquittal is received.
(NCRB, States/UTs)
6. Format of Document Cases:
Participants expressed that all FP Exerts are not following the same format for giving the
opinion on document cases. In this regard, NCRB informed that a document cases
module is being implemented in NAFIS which is expected to resolve the problem. All
FP Experts were requested to test this module after NAFIS roll out and offer feedback so
that uniformity can be achieved.
(NCRB, States/UTs)
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Print in India-2020 Page 152
7. Manpower:
NCRB requested States/UTs to fill up the vacant posts before NAFIS commissioning,
so that NAFIS can be optimally put to use. Certain States/UTs delegates informed that
they are facing issues in filling the vacant posts in their States/UTs and requested
NCRB/MHA to send an advisory in this regard.
(NCRB)
8. Research:
Conference deliberated about Fingerprint Bureaux taking post graduate students and
research scholars for internship by providing some financial support. Conference
suggested that NCRB may explore this area for encouraging such research.
(NCRB)
9. Training:
a. Refresher course for Photographers: Director, Goa and other SFPBx requested to
organize refresher course for chance print photographers of their Bureaux. The matter
was discussed in previous conference also but due to statewide lockdown and COVID
restrictions the matter could not be perused. NCRB offered to explore the options of
organizing such courses in consultation with NICFS.
b. Fingerprint Training on Modern Chemical Methods: Delegates suggested that
NCRB may conduct Training on new chemical methods of fingerprint development.
NCRB informed that suitable action will be taken on the matter after the pandemic
situation improves.
c. Fingerprint Training on Proficiency course: Conference deliberated about the
syllabus, content, duration of the Proficiency course on Fingerprint Science that is being
conducted at CFPB, Kolkata. There was a suggestion that participants may be taken to
CFPB, New Delhi for demonstration of the facilities available at New Delhi. NCRB
informed that visit to SFPB of West Bengal in Kolkata can be organized.
d. Fingerprint Training on rare prints: A demand was raised on in-depth study on of
forged, overlapped and/or damaged finger prints and such training in the CFPB training
programs. Similarly advance training on Finger Print Science and/or exposure to
important cases handled by legal Experts/Lawyers may be included so that the FP
officers can gain insights and successfully provide evidence in the court. On this matter,
state experts having exposure on such cases may volunteer themselves for such
specialized training or alternatively NCRB may explore the possibility of arranging
retired experts in this field to impart such training. It was also suggested that a lawyer
well versed with evidence on fingerprint science may be arranged for a talk to prepare
the experts in facing the courts.
e. Training in Foreign Countries: There was a demand from the house that opportunities
should be explored for training opportunities in foreign countries for international
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Print in India-2020 Page 153
exposure on fingerprint science. Conference resolved that States/UTs will identify the
courses and inform NCRB for initiating necessary action on this matter.

Annexure– V (a)
National Automated Fingerprint Identification System (NAFIS) Overview
The NAFIS software serves as the key application for Fingerprint experts/personnel
for performing crime and criminal investigation functions. It shall function as the central
information repository of all the crime and criminal related fingerprint data of the country.
The national level NAFIS solution would be implemented and managed by the Central
Fingerprint Bureau (CFPB) at NCRB, New Delhi.
❖ Mission
➢ Establish a robust online searchable National database of
Fingerprints from all States/UTs that primarily functions as a central
information repository for identifying criminals using fingerprint &
palm print data.
❖ Key Objectives
➢ To provide standards based, interoperable, online, fast and accurate
biometric enrolment and search services for the national as well as
state levels.
➢ The system would have configurable virtual partitions which can be
accessed by each State/UT and Central agencies.
▪ State/UT/Agency level (within the virtual partition)
▪ Selected Units (Selection option to be provided across Units)
▪ National Level (Complete Repository across all Virtual
Partitions)
National Fingerprint Number (NFN):
A unique fingerprint reference number is assigned by NAFIS.
➢ NAFIS assigns a unique 10 digit NFN for each criminal based on biometrics
➢ Multiple incidents, one ID
• One unique ID for the lifetime of a criminal
• Different crimes registered under different FIRs as incidents belonging to
same NFN
➢ State Owner ship
• Each criminal registered in a particular state has first 2 digits of state code,
followed by a sequence number
• State partition will have IDs belonging to state (e.g. UP00001234,
MP00000007)
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Print in India-2020 Page 169
Applications Under NAFIS:
MBIS: Morpho Biometric Identification System
Morpho BIS (or MBIS) is an automated biometric identification system (or ABIS) that
allows acquisition, storage, and search of biometric data of persons (like prints, portraits).
To achieve this, the system is capable of managing:
➢ Persons, enrolled with rolled and flat fingerprints, palms, portraits as well as
descriptive data (civil status, context of the arrest, …),
➢ Criminal cases composed of latent prints found on the scenes of crime and their
descriptive data (context of the crime, description, etc.).
MBIS also consists of Central Viewer tool, which is used to access reports, define
thresholds, check system status, record counts, quota, licenses, CV agent tools, define users
and groups, decision logic, LSS registration. However, most of the functions are available
only to administrator and basic user can view only System status, access reports, record
counts and quota.
MESA: Morpho Enrolment Software Application.
➢ MESA is a live enrolment application which captures biometrics (fingerprints, palm
prints and face etc.) and it require demographics data to do live enrolment of a
person.
➢ Quick search is used to launch search with two thumbs to get possible HIT or NOHIT
results from the national criminal database of thumbs.
➢ MESA application is integrated with NAFIS (National Automated Fingerprint
Identification System) solution which performs searching and matching of live
fingerprints or palm prints.
Bio Search (Mobile App):
➢ NAFIS Bio Search is an Android application to perform national level fingerprint
search with two fingers, which is also called Fast ID Search.
➢ It integrates with the National AFIS solution, which is an initiative of National Crime
Records Bureau (NCRB) and Central Finger Print Bureau (CFPB).
➢ Its users must be authorized to use the application and can perform Fast ID search
using single fingerprint scanner (MSO device) to get possible HIT or NO HIT results
from the national criminal database of fingerprints.
➢ Users of this android application will be Police Personnel who are on duty in the
field. This application will be used pan-India.
➢

Alfresco Share – A DMS Solution for NAFIS:
Document Management System helps to store, access, manage, control and track
electronic documents and electronic images of paper-based information that has been
captured through document scanning technology. Document Management System is similar
to what you use for personal use to store files by organizing them in folders. Some well-
known applications are: Drop box, Google Drive etc.
➢ Alfresco makes it easy to quickly locate the exact NAFIS document they need from
among many thousands of files, in their document management system.
➢ Easily find, share and secure all important files such as Digitized Slips, etc.
➢ Files can be easily searched for and downloaded for offline
use. Helps in version controlling of the newly uploaded and edited files.

Glossary
❖ AMPUTATED- The removal of a limb or other body extremity by trauma, prolonged
constriction or surgery.
❖ ARTIFACT- Any distortion or alteration not in the original friction ridge impression
produced by an external agent or action. 2: Any information not present in the original
object or image inadvertently introduced by image capture, processing, compressions,
transmission, display, or printing. (SWGFAST2011)
❖ AUTOMATED FINGER PRINTIDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (AFIS)- An automated, minutiae-
based identification system that may consist of two or more distinct databases
comprising two-finger identification records and ten-finger latent cognizant records
(records of individuals more likely to be found at crime scenes, for example, burglars). 2:
A computer-based system for reading, cataloguing, searching, matching, and storing
fingerprints and related data. (ANSI/IAI) 3: A generic term for a Finger Print matching,
storage, and retrieval system. (SWGFAST2011)
❖ ACE-V- The process for identifying latent fingerprints, which involves Analysis,
Comparison, Evaluation, and Verification:
a. Analysis is the qualitative and quantitative assessment of Level 1, Level 2, and
Level 3 Details to determine proportion, interrelationship, and value for
individualization.
b. During Comparison, the latent print examiner looks at the attributes noted
during analysis for differences and agreement between the latent print and the
known exemplar.
c. Evaluation follows extensive comparison by making a determination if two
impressions were made by the same source, not from the same source, or if the
information is inconclusive. (A determination is made as to the results of the
Comparison process. The Finger Print community accepts three conclusions: (a)
the latent print and known exemplar were made by the same source, (b) the
latent print and known exemplar were not made by the same source, or (c) a
conclusive comparison could not be determined. This could be due to a lack of
comparable area in the known exemplar or lack of clarity due to improperly
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Print in India Page 197
recorded known exemplars.)
d. Verification occurs when a second qualified examiner does an independent
assessment of the latent print and known exemplar, utilizing the ACE process.
• ALGORITHM- Mathematical routine used in computer processing. In
AFIS processing, the matcher algorithm searches for relationships
between the search print and ten-print. 2: Mathematical routine used
in computer processing, e.g., an AFIS matching algorithm establishes
the correlation of Level 2 Detail between fingerprints. (SWGFAST). 3: A
step-by-step computational procedure for solving a problem. The
system computer and other system components use algorithms to
make decisions required to process and handle information.(ANSI/IAI)
• ANSI/NIST STANDARD- Standard proposed by NIST and adopted by
ANSI. For example, the ANSI/NIST-ITL standard Data Format for the
Interchange of Fingerprint, Facial & Other Biometric Information is
used by law enforcement, intelligence, military, and homeland security
organizations throughout the world. The first version of this standard
dates to 1986. Over the years, it has been updated and expanded to
cover more biometric modalities beyond the original record type of
Finger Print minutiae. (NIST)
• BACKGROUND DISTURBANCE / INTERFERENCE- A feature of the
background (such as the texture or pattern) of the substrate (surface)
that the mark is left on, which affects the appearance and resultant
interpretation of the friction ridge flow or ridge details.
• CADAVER- A deceased person.
• CHANCE PRINT OR SCENE OF CRIME PRINT- means any chance or
accidental impression left by friction ridges skin on a surface,
regardless of whether it is visible or invisible at the time of deposition.
• DISPATCH CHEQUE-The details in triplicate prepared by the State
Bureaux containing Name, Parentage of the convicts and Cheque No.,
Date and District of Origin of Finger Print Record Slips for forwarding
the Finger Print Record Slips to other Bureaux are called Dispatch
Cheques/Invoice.
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Print in India Page 198
• DATABASES- Collections of data and associated material designed to
provide information rather than for archive, which are stored
systematically in hard copy or electronic format and are, e.g. used for:
providing information on the possible origin of objects or substances
found in casework; and/or providing statistical information.
• EDGEOSCOPY- Study of the contour or shape of the edges of friction ridges. ❖ EXPERT (CFPB)- 'Expert' means an officer working in the CFPB having undergone
thorough training in classifying, recording & searching of F.P. Slips and examining of
latent and documentary prints either in any State Bureau or at the Central Finger Print
Bureau and having a Finger Print expert certificate by clearing the All India Board for
Examination of Finger Print Experts.
❖ EXEMPLAR- An impression or image of friction ridge skin purposely collected with the
knowledge of the subject. 2: The prints of an individual associated with a known or
claimed identity deliberately recorded electronically, by ink, or by another medium (also
known as known prints). (SWGFAST 2011)
❖ ELIMINATION FINGERPRINTS-Finger Print images taken from persons with legitimate
access to evidence under examination for latent fingerprint. 2: Exemplars of friction
ridge skin detail of persons known to have had legitimate access to an object or
location.
❖ GRAY-SCALE IMAGE -An image using more than two radiometric values, i.e., 256 shades
of gray in an 8-bit image. Not a strictly black/white image.
❖ HENRY CLASSIFICATION- an alphanumeric system of Finger Print classification named
after Sir Edward Richard Henry used for filing, searching, and retrieving ten-print
records.
❖ FINGER PRINT SLIP FOR RECORD- The form containing 10-digit rolled impressions and
plain prints taken in proper sequence for record with particulars regarding name,
parentage, residence, conviction, etc. of a convict is called a Finger Print Slip for record.
❖ FINGER PRINT SLIP FOR SEARCH- Similar form with 10 digit impressions when used for
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Print in India Page 199
search to trace previous conviction from the record of the Bureau is called Finger Print
slip for search.
❖ INKED FINGER PRINT- the Intentional recording of the friction ridge skin. Using black
printer's ink and a Finger Print roller, the ridge characteristics of a particular individual,
can be formally recorded on a standard Finger Print card.
❖ INTERPOL- Originally the International Police Commission, established in 1923 with the
first headquarters in Vienna, Austria. With the General Secretariat now in Lyon, France,
Interpol focuses on international crimes that threaten public safety, especially those
involving terrorism, criminal organizations, drugs, finances and technology, and
trafficking in human beings, and provides fugitive investigative support.
❖ LATENT (Chance print)/LATENT SEARCH- A search of a latent print against other latent
prints, which are usually stored in the Unsolved Latent File, and which has the potential
to link crimes committed by same person, even though that person is as yet
unidentified. Also referred to as a latent/unsolved latent search.
❖ LIVESCAN- “Live scan‟ is an electronic biometric platform for capturing, storing and
transmitting friction ridge detail.
❖ MINUTIAE DATA- The data representing the relative position, orientation, and in some
cases, the relationship and/or types of the minutiae in a Finger Print image.
❖ NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY- Formerly known as the
National Bureau of Standards, this division of the U.S. Department of Commerce
ensures standardization in non-defense government agencies.
❖ PATTERN CLASSIFICATION- Characterization of a Finger Print as containing one of seven
Finger Print patterns: arch, tented arch, right-slant loop, left-slant loop, whorl,
amputation, or scar. The Integrated Automated Finger Print Identification System will
provide for both pattern level and Henry classifications.
❖ SCANNER- Capture device to create a digital image. New scanners that connect to the
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Print in India Page 200
Finger Print Work stations must meet the standards outlined in Appendix F of the
Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification.
❖ SPECIAL AND LOCAL LAWS- These are Acts that are framed by the state government for
specific issues.
TEN-PRINT- A Finger Print card (or Finger Print card equivalent) containing rolled and
plain impressions from the ten fingers of an individual. The standard format contains 14
impressions: one rolled Finger Print impression of each finger, plain Finger Print
impressions of each thumb, and plain impressions of the four fingers of each hand
simultaneously.
❖ TEN-PRINT IMAGE SEARCHES- An electronic transaction submitted to the Central/State
Finger Print bureau’s data base, which contains fingerprint images, classification
information as required by the Automated Fingerprint Identification System, or
remotely extracted fingerprint characteristics. The subsequent search will be conducted
automatically with no additional manual editing or processing. If candidates are
identified, the candidates’ PIN Numbers are returned to the transmitting agency along
with fingerprint images from the highest scoring candidates.
