A while back I tried buying a cat from an online seller, turned out to be a scam. I lost money and filed an FIR against them. After some time, I did manage to get my money back.

Now I’m working as a software developer in a private company and planning to switch jobs. Just wondering, will this FIR cause any issues in background verification or future employment?

To be clear, I was the complainant/victim, not accused in anything.

Would appreciate if someone could explain how this works in India and if there’s anything I should be aware of.
