New Delhi, Oct 21, 2023

The National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (NCRP) and dedicated cybercrime helpline number '1930' had together prevented Rs 765 crore of defrauded money from reaching the hands of online fraudsters until September 30, 2023, the home ministry shared on Friday coinciding with the national cyber security awareness month.

As the Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre or I4C, the national overarching cyber-security framework under the MHA's purview, celebrates October as the national cyber security awareness month, the ministry said NCRP has been receiving on average 5,000 complaints daily since it was set up in 2019, with the complaints so far totalling around 29 lakh. I4C is observing the national cyber security awareness month by undertaking a variety of awareness campaigns.
