Union home minister amit shah announced the inauguration of the e-Zero FIR project under the indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C), a division of the Ministry of home Affairs (MHA), in a major step to strengthen India's battle against cybercrime. By automatically turning objections into formal complaints in high-value cases, the initiative, which is now being implemented as a pilot project in Delhi, seeks to shorten reaction times when combating financial cyber theft significantly.
In a post on Monday, Shah said, "The MHA's indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C) introduced the new e-Zero FIR initiative to nab any criminal with unprecedented speed. Launched as a pilot project for Delhi, the new system will automatically convert cyber financial crimes filed at NCRP or 1930 to FIRs, initially above the threshold limit of Rs 10 lakh. The new system, which will drive investigations swiftly cracking down on cybercriminals, will soon be extended to the entire nation."
Fast & Automated
The goal of the e-Zero FIR program is to expedite the legal and investigative procedures in cybercrime cases, especially those involving financial fraud. At the moment, victims of cybercrime frequently have to go through laborious processes to file a formal complaint and an FIR.
Any cyberfinancial crime that is reported via the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (NCRP) or the Cybercrime Helpline 1930 and meets the Rs 10 lakh threshold will be instantly transformed into a formal complaint (FIR) under the new system, eliminating the requirement for a PD station visit. By accelerating law enforcement action, this automated system hopes to increase the likelihood of stopping fraudulent transactions and apprehending offenders in real-time.
National Rollout Soon
Shah emphasized the Modi government's emphasis on cybersecurity and said the program will soon be expanded across the country. He stated, "The government is bolstering the cybersecurity grid to build a cyber-secure Bharat," emphasizing the necessity of prompt and concerted action against increasingly complex cybercriminal networks.
Concerning I4C
The indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C), founded by the MHA in New Delhi, offers a centralized framework that enables law enforcement agencies nationwide to combat cybercrime more efficiently and effectively. I4C, India's main organization for fighting cybercrime, provides resources, training, and technologies to central and state agencies for coordinated action.
