How can I report online fraud or cybercrime in India?

If you become a victim of online fraud, cybercrime, or digital payment fraud, report the incident immediately through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal or by calling the 1930 Cyber Crime Helpline. Prompt reporting increases the chances of recovering lost funds.

You should also inform your bank or payment service provider, preserve all evidence such as screenshots, transaction details, emails, and chat records, and file a complaint with the local police if required.

Timely action is crucial, especially in cases involving unauthorized online transactions, phishing, identity theft, or financial fraud.
