Financial Crime Reporting Guidelines in India: A Step-by-Step Guide

In the wake of increasing financial crimes in India, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has laid down strict regulations for reporting unauthorized transactions on bank accounts. If you’ve fallen victim to a cybercrime or an unauthorized transaction, here’s what you need to do.

Reporting Unauthorized Transactions: A Quick Fix

Step 1: Contact Your Bank Immediately

  • Contact your bank immediately and file a complaint.
  • File a fraud or police report.
  • Block your current account and transfer funds to a new account or card.
  • Monitor your account and credit closely.

Filing a Cybercrime Complaint in India: A Step-by-Step Process

The Information Technology Act, 2000, makes cybercrimes a matter of global jurisdiction. You can register a complaint with any cyber cell in India, regardless of where the crime was committed. Here’s how:

Registering a Written Complaint

  • File a written complaint with the cyber cell of your city or town.
  • Provide your name, contact details, and address for mailing when filing the complaint.
  • If you’re a victim of online harassment, consider seeking legal counsel to assist you in reporting the crime.

Registering a Cybercrime FIR

  • If you don’t have access to a cyber cell, file a First Information Report (FIR) at your local police station.
  • Provide all necessary details and documentation when filing the FIR.

Reporting to CERT-In

  • You can also report cybercrimes to the Computer Emergency Response Team-India (CERT-In), which is responsible for responding to computer security incidents.
