Lost and Found Wallet in Auto Rickshaw – Mumbai Guide (2025)

Have you lost your wallet while traveling in an auto rickshaw in Mumbai? Don't worry, you're not alone. Every day, many commuters misplace their belongings in autos, but with the right steps, you have a chance to get them back. This blog post explains exactly what you should do if your wallet is lost in an auto rickshaw in Mumbai.

🚨 Step-by-Step: What to Do If You Lost Your Wallet in an Auto Rickshaw

1. Recall the Details Immediately

Try to remember the auto rickshaw number (MH-02, MH-01 etc.)
Note the location and time where you boarded and got off
Was there any receipt? Did you pay online (UPI, PayTM)?

2. File a Police Complaint (Non-Cognizable)

Visit the nearest local police station and file a non-cognizable complaint for lost wallet. This helps:

Protect you in case of misuse of your ID cards
Help track if someone turns in your wallet

Important Documents to Mention:

Driving Licence
Aadhar Card / PAN Card
ATM/Debit/Credit Cards
Cash (if any)

3. Call Mumbai RTO or Lost Property Cell

Mumbai RTO does not directly handle lost wallets, but you can report the rickshaw number if you have it. Contact:

Wadala RTO (MH-01)

📢 Real Case: Lost Wallet Returned in Mumbai Auto

In March 2024, a student lost his wallet in an auto near Bandra. Thanks to a UPI receipt and quick response on Twitter tagging Mumbai Police, the wallet was returned within 48 hours. The honest auto driver was appreciated publicly. Always try to pay digitally – it leaves a trace!

💡 Tips to Avoid Losing Wallets in Autos

Use UPI/PayTM to leave a trace
Always check seat before getting down
Use wallet trackers (like AirTag or Chipolo)
Keep essential IDs scanned in your phone

🔒 What If Your Driving Licence Was in the Wallet?

Don’t panic. Apply for a duplicate licence through the duplicate driving licence process. You’ll need the police complaint copy and basic ID proofs.

📞 Important Contacts

Dial 100 – Emergency Helpline
Mumbai Police Lost Property Cell – Available via Police Station
Auto Rickshaw Union – Ask if nearby driver submitted the wallet

🔚 Conclusion

Losing a wallet is stressful, especially in a busy city like Mumbai. But staying calm, filing the correct complaint, and following the right channels can increase your chances of recovering it. Always keep digital backups and pay via UPI for traceability. If you need help replacing your driving licence or ID, visit our other RTO India Help guides.
