National Cybercrime Reporting Portal

The National Cybercrime Reporting Portal was launched in 2019 by the Ministry of Home Affairs for providing citizens with centralised mechanism for online reporting all types of cybercrimes. the incidents reported in this portal are converted into FIRs by the concerned state/UT law enforcement agencies. The Central government has recently announced that around 3.17 lakh cybercrimes and more than 5,000 FIRs were registered through the portal over the last 18 months. Most of these came from Maharashtra and Karnataka.
