+| **Financial fraud** | **1930** (24/7 toll-free) — call within 24 hours |

+| **Helpline** | **1930** (financial) · **155260** (cybercrime general) |
+| **Email** | [email protected] |
+| **Statutory base** | IT Act 2000 + 2008 amendment |

+  - Visit cybercrime.gov.in → Track Your Complaint.
+  - Enter acknowledgment ID + mobile/email used.
+  - Status shows current stage: Submitted → Assigned → Under Investigation → Closed.
+  - For **financial fraud**: in addition to NCRP, file with bank within 3 days for full liability protection (RBI 2017 framework).

+===== Real story from a citizen =====
+**What we hear from RTI Wiki users**: Pradeep, a 45-year-old businessman in Pune, lost Rs. 2.8 lakh to a UPI scam (impersonator pretending to be his bank manager). He called 1930 within 4 hours and filed online complaint at cybercrime.gov.in. Status said "Under Investigation" for 41 days with no recovery update. He filed an RTI to Cyber Cell Pune asking complaint status + money-trail freeze status + recovery process. Reply in 26 days revealed Rs. 1.8 lakh had been frozen at the receiving bank but recovery proceedings hadn't started. He pushed via state Lokayukta + courts; recovered Rs. 1.6 lakh in 4 months.
+===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
+  * **Wrong category selected** — system can't route correctly. Fix: re-file under correct category (Women/Children, Financial, Other).
+  * **Insufficient evidence** — screenshots, transaction details missing. Fix: attach all via portal.
+  * **Police didn't register FIR** — convert online complaint to FIR via §156(3) magistrate complaint.
+  * **Cross-jurisdiction issue** — fraudster in different state. Fix: I4C coordinates; or file in fraudster's jurisdiction.
+  * **Account-freeze missed 24-hour window** — recovery becomes harder. Fix: still file; partial recovery possible.
+  * **Same-day filing** at bank vs NCRP — inconsistency. Bank gets priority for liability protection (RBI rules).
+===== Pro tips most don't know =====
+  * **1930 within 24 hours** of fraud is the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT step — police can freeze receiver bank account if reported fast. Recovery rate drops dramatically after 24 hours.
+  * **Sakhi One Stop Centre (181)** — for women victims of cyber harassment.
+  * **Bank liability under RBI 2017 framework**: for unauthorized transactions, bank is liable for full amount IF you report within 3 working days.
+  * **FIR vs online complaint**: NCRP complaint is NOT a FIR. For FIR, escalate to local PS or §156(3) magistrate complaint.
+  * **Crypto fraud / NFT scams** — file at NCRP under "Other Cybercrime"; specialized cells in major cities.
+===== Helpline + contact =====
+NCRP: **1930** (financial 24/7) · **155260** (general) · [email protected] · State cyber cells (e.g., Maharashtra Cyber: 7058999999)
