The boy was from the Semarkheda Village.
His death follows a similar incident involving a man about 65 kilometres north in the Dundwa Range.
Local authorities have erected signs in the area to create awareness about the danger of crocodiles.
"After discussing with the district magistrate, we have decided to identify the areas near human habitat where there is a presence of crocodiles and will put up signboards there to keep people away," Pilibhit Superindentant Kirit Rathore said.
