+===== What happens to your ₹500 in 4 hours =====
+  - **T+10 sec** — lands in mule UPI in a Tier-3 city.
+  - **T+5 min** — split across 4–5 mule accounts.
+  - **T+1 hour** — pushed to a crypto wallet.
+  - **T+4 hours** — exits India as USDT/BTC. Operationally unrecoverable.
+===== Your only window: first 72 hours =====
+Complain in this order:
+  - **Call 1930** (National Cybercrime Helpline) — real-time freeze possible.
+  - **File at [[https://cybercrime.gov.in|cybercrime.gov.in]]** — choose "Online Gambling/Betting Fraud".
+  - **Visit your bank** with screenshots — request merchant-flag.
+  - **Bank Grievance** if no response in 7 days — escalate to **Banking Ombudsman** at //cms.rbi.org.in// if no response in 30 days.
+===== Need to know =====
+  * Charge-back **fails** for authorised UPI. The cyber-cell freeze is your real tool.
+  * **Recovery rate** at 72 hours: ~15%. At 30 days: ~5%. After: ~1%. **Speed = money.**
+  * **NEVER** "deposit one more time to recover" — it deepens the loss + legal exposure.
+===== Read the full guide =====

+//RTI Wiki — citizen-first legal content. April 2026. **Forward to your IPL WhatsApp group.**//
+===== Why this matters for citizens =====
+Issues like this are common — every year lakhs of Indian citizens face the same hurdle. The core legal frameworks are the **Right to Information Act, 2005**, the **Information Technology Act, 2000** (for online matters), and the **Consumer Protection Act, 2019**. The enforcement bodies vary by issue but most start with a complaint to the relevant department PIO + a parallel CPGRAMS filing.
+===== Citizen action steps =====
+  - **Step 1** — file an RTI under §6 of the RTI Act 2005 to the relevant department PIO. Use [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/tools/ai-rti-draft-app.html|AI RTI Drafter]] for free.
+  - **Step 2** — parallel **CPGRAMS** complaint at pgportal.gov.in for service-delivery push.
+  - **Step 3** — if PIO refuses, **§19(1) First Appeal** in 30 days. Use [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/tools/first-appeal-app.html|First Appeal Builder]].
+  - **Step 4** — for fraud / criminal matters, **FIR at local police station** + **cybercrime portal** (cybercrime.gov.in) + **NCRP helpline 1930**.
+  - **Step 5** — for consumer issues, **Consumer Court** under Consumer Protection Act 2019 (e-filing at e-jagriti.gov.in).
