How to File a Cybercrime Complaint on cybercrime.gov.in

The National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (cybercrime.gov.in) lets you file a complaint online from anywhere in India. If money has been lost, also call 1930 first; speed matters for a fund hold.

Keep these ready

• Your ID and a mobile number that can receive an OTP
• Transaction ID / UTR, date, time and amount
• The fraudster's phone number, UPI ID, bank account, website or social-media profile
• Screenshots of chats, call logs, SMS, emails and your bank statement

Step by step

1. Open cybercrime.gov.in in your browser (check the address carefully; fake look-alike sites exist).
2. Choose the option to report a cyber crime, then the category for financial fraud (menu wording can change).
3. Register or log in with your mobile number and OTP.
4. Fill in the incident details in order: what happened, when, how much, and how you were contacted.
5. Upload your evidence files.
6. Review everything, submit, and save the acknowledgement number.

After you file

• Use the portal's track complaint option with your acknowledgement number.
• Inform your bank and quote the complaint number.
• You may also visit the nearest police station or cyber cell with printouts of your complaint and evidence.

Tips that help

• Be exact with times, amounts and transaction IDs; mistakes slow the process.
• Add every account, number or UPI ID the fraudster used, even if you are unsure.
• Keep copies of everything you submit.
