For anyone in India who has just been defrauded online
Tell us what
happened.
Report cybercrime, track your complaint, check a suspicious number or link, and get your accounts secured. One place, from the moment it happens to the day it is resolved.
Money just left your account? Call 1930 first, no sign-in needed.
Most complaints die in the first 24 hours
When you call 1930, the helpline gives you an acknowledgement number by SMS. That number is not the complaint. You then have 24 hours to turn it into a registered complaint, and I4C’s own instructions say this is mandatory.
Almost nobody is told this clearly while it matters. Here, the call and the complaint are the same case: enter your acknowledgement number and the report is already written, waiting to be confirmed.

It asks what happened, not which form you want
You describe it in your own words. We map it to the official category, the right channel, and the state that will handle it.
It prepares the report while you are on the call
The portal needs 200 characters, a 12-digit UTR and specific evidence. We have that ready before you get there.
It explains what the status actually means
“Disposed” usually means handed to the investigating officer, not rejected. We say so, in plain language.
