Yes, India has dedicated helplines for cybercrime victims. The primary emergency number is 1930, available 24x7, for reporting financial frauds like UPI scams, OTP frauds, and phishing. Prompt reporting through this helpline helps in blocking or reversing unauthorized transactions by alerting banks and payment gateways.
For non-financial cyber offences—such as online harassment, stalking, blackmail, or child exploitation—victims can file complaints on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal at www.cybercrime.gov.in. The portal also allows anonymous reporting in sensitive cases.
Victims can also visit their nearest cybercrime police station, or dial 112 for emergencies. For child-related cyber offences, the 1098 Childline is available. Quick action is essential to prevent further harm and increase the chances of legal remedy.
