National Cyber Crime Helpline (1930)

✓ Last verified 14 Sep 2026
The short version 1930 is India's dedicated national helpline for reporting financial cyber fraud, designed to coordinate quickly with banks to freeze fraudulently transferred funds before they're withdrawn - speed in reporting matters more than almost anything else.

Alongside contacting your bank directly, reporting a financial fraud to the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal and helpline (1930) is a specific, dedicated channel designed to coordinate rapidly across banks to freeze fraudulently transferred funds before they move further and become unrecoverable. See our full article on what to do immediately if scammed for the complete sequence of steps - the key point about 1930 specifically is that speed of reporting directly affects the odds of actually recovering money, not just documenting the crime after the fact.
