Cyber fraud cases tripled between 2020 and 2024, government tells Rajya Sabha

The Indian government reported a significant increase in cyber fraud cases between 2020 and 2024, rising from 10,395 to 29,758. Telangana had the highest number of cases in 2024, with online banking fraud being the most common category. The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) provided the data, though it noted that figures on monetary loss or recovery were not tracked. The government highlighted initiatives like the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) and the Citizen Financial Cyber Fraud Reporting and Management System (CFCFRMS), which reportedly saved over ₹11,158 crore through 32.80 lakh complaints. These efforts aim to improve coordination among law enforcement agencies and enhance public awareness against cybercrime.
