If your relative only borrowed money and is not returning it, it is usually treated as a civil dispute for recovery of money. FIR is possible only if there was dishonest intention from the beginning, which may amount to cheating under Section 318 BNS, 2023. You can send a legal notice and file a recovery suit.
