GetNyay Data · India cyber fraud tracker
India lost ₹22,845.73 crore to cyber fraud in one year. It has refunded ₹206 crore.
Every figure on this page comes from the Government of India’s own answers in Parliament and its press releases. We read each one out of the original document, keep them current, and show the three things the headline numbers hide.
How much does India lose to cyber fraud?
Indians reported losing ₹22,845.73 crore to cyber fraud in 2024 across 22,68,346 incidents registered on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal — an average of ₹1,00,715 per incident. Over the financial years covered by the latest answer, ₹56,087 crore was reported lost, ₹9,079 crore was placed under lien, and ₹206 crore was refunded to victims. All three figures are Government of India figures given to Parliament.
Key takeaways
- Money lost rose 9.98× between 2022 and 2024 while incidents rose only 2.20× — the frauds got bigger, not just more common.
- The amount the Government calls "saved" is the amount it elsewhere calls "marked as Lien". Same ₹8,189 cr, two names, two documents.
- ₹206 cr has been refunded against ₹56,087 cr reported lost — ₹272 reported for every rupee returned.
- About 2.97% of financial fraud complaints on the portal produced an FIR between 2021 and 2025.
- Telangana and Karnataka account for 48.3% of every cyber crime case registered in India in 2024.
What the numbers say
Four figures, each traceable to a dated government document listed at the foot of this page.
Finding 1 — the frauds are getting bigger, not just more common
Between 2022 and 2024 the number of incidents reported on the portal roughly doubled. The money lost rose almost tenfold. The gap between those two rates is the story: the average amount taken in each reported fraud more than quadrupled, from ₹22,256 to ₹1,00,715.
Average amount lost per reported incident
National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal · a GetNyay calculation from the published annual totals
Someone defrauded in 2024 lost, on average, 4.53× what someone defrauded in 2022 lost. Volume alone does not explain the money: the individual frauds themselves became larger. No amount was published for 2021, so no average can be calculated for it.

| 2024 | ₹22,845.73 cr | 22,68,346 | ₹1,00,715 |
Derivation: Amount reported lost in the year, converted from crore to rupees (× 1,00,00,000), divided by the number of incidents registered on the NCRP in the same year. Both inputs are published in Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 432.

9.98× over the same two years — nearly five times the rate at which the incident count grew. The 2021 slot is empty because no amount for 2021 was published, not because none was lost.

Published in Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 432, answered 2 December 2025. The two charts above are deliberately separate: they measure different things on scales four orders of magnitude apart, and a single chart with two y-axes would invent a relationship between them.
Finding 2 — money “saved” is not money returned
The Government reports an amount saved through its fraud reporting system. Read across two answers, that figure turns out to be the amount stopped in transit and placed under lien in a bank account. Getting it back into the victim's account is a separate process — and the Government has now published how much of it has completed that step.
The same ₹8,189 cr, called two different things
“Till 31.12.2025, financial amount of more than Rs. 8,189 Crore has been saved”
“from the year 2021 to 2025 … the total amount marked as Lien is more than ₹ 8189 Crores”
Two Government of India documents give the identical amount for the identical stock of money. One calls it saved. The other calls it marked as lien. A lien stops the money moving; it does not put it back.
Reported, held, returned — one period, one dataset, one scale
Financial years 2023–24 to 2025–26 · ₹ crore · all three figures from the same answer
- Reported lost, and money still gone
- Held under lien, or refunded
Of every ₹56,087 cr reported lost, ₹9,079 cr was stopped in an account and ₹206 cr reached a victim — 0.367% of the money reported, and 2.27% of the money held. The refunded bar is drawn at its true proportion; it is a sliver because the number is small, not because the chart is compressed.
Show these figures as a table
| Measure | FY 2023–24 to 2025–26 (₹ crore) | Share of amount reported |
|---|---|---|
| Amount reported lost | 56,087 | 100% |
| Amount marked as lien | 9,079 | 16.19% |
| Amount refunded to victims | 206 | 0.367% |
All three amounts published together in Rajya Sabha Unstarred Question No. 403, answered 22 July 2026. Derivations: ₹206 cr refunded ÷ ₹56,087 cr reported = 0.367%; ₹206 cr ÷ ₹9,079 cr marked as lien = 2.27%.
Why this distinction matters to a victim
A lien placed on the recipient’s account stops the money moving. It does not put it back. Release to the victim follows a separate process, and the machinery for it is new: the Money Restoration Module was made functional only from April 2026.[4]
If you are the victim rather than the reporter, that module is where a restoration claim now goes: mrm-ncrp.mha.gov.in. Our UPI fraud complaint guide sets out the order to do things in.
The figure that is still missing
The refund total exists nationally, but not by State. The question that produced it asked for “the State-wise number of cybercrime complaints, FIRs registered, amount involved, amount frozen and amount recovered through the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) during financial year 2023-24 to financial year 2025-26”. The answer gave national totals only.[4]
So there is no way to tell from published data whether a victim in one State is more likely to see their money again than a victim in another. We ask for that breakdown in every update, and will publish it here the day it appears.
| Reading | Amount | Complaints | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| as at 2 December 2025 | ₹7,130 cr | 23.02 lakh | Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 432[1] |
| to 31 December 2025 | ₹8,189 cr | 23.61 lakh | Rajya Sabha Unstarred Question No. 553[2] |
| to 30 June 2026 | ₹11,158 cr | 32.80 lakh | Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 251[3] |
The same running counter, quoted three times in nine months. It is published without a date about as often as with one, which is why every reading here carries the date it was given. The latest is ₹11,158 cr across 32.80 lakh complaints, to 30 June 2026.
Finding 3 — very few complaints become a registered case
Between 2021 and 2025 the portal took more than 65,89,201 financial fraud complaints and 1,95,760 FIRs were registered — 2.97%, from a single answer where both numbers were given together. Set the portal against police records year by year and the same picture appears, and it is getting worse.
Cases registered by the police, against incidents reported on the portal
Two different Government of India datasets, shown as a ratio and never as one series
The share fell from 11.71% in 2021 to 4.49% in 2024. Reports to the portal grew faster than cases on police books in every one of those years. This is not a clearance rate and must not be quoted as one — a portal incident is a report by a citizen and does not become an FIR automatically.

Incidents: Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 432. Cases: Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 251, Annexure I, reproducing NCRB “Crime in India”. NCRP incidents and NCRB cases are two different Government of India datasets. The portal counts reports made by citizens; Crime in India counts cases registered by the police. A complaint on the portal does not become an FIR automatically. The ratio here is published because its direction over four years is the finding — it is not a clearance rate, and it should not be quoted as one.
What each dataset actually counts
- NCRP incidents
- Incidents registered by the public on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (cybercrime.gov.in), covering all types of cyber crime. An incident here is a report made by a citizen, not a case registered by the police.
- NCRB cases registered
- Cases registered by State and Union Territory police under cyber crimes (involving communication devices as medium or target), as compiled and published by the National Crime Records Bureau in Crime in India and tabled in Parliament. The latest published report is for 2024.
Who is losing the money
In 2025 the Government gave Parliament a breakdown of financial fraud complaints for two groups. No comparable breakdown is published for any other group, and none is published for earlier years.
| Group, 2025 | Complaints | Amount reported | Average per complaintGetNyay calculation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Senior citizens | 1,03,488 | ₹4,005.12 cr | ₹3,87,013 |
| Women | 4,63,114 | ₹3,764.51 cr | ₹81,287 |
| Sum of the two rows | 5,66,602 | ₹7,769.63 cr | ₹1,37,127 |
A senior citizen who is defrauded loses on average 4.8× what a woman complainant loses — ₹3,87,013 against ₹81,287. Women file 4.5× as many complaints; senior citizens report more money.[6]
Two cautions, both from the source itself. The answer prints the note “Data is dynamic in nature.” beneath its own table, so these figures are a snapshot of a moving count.
The answer does not say whether the two groups are mutually exclusive. A woman who is also a senior citizen would appear in both rows, so adding them may count some complaints twice. The sum is shown for completeness and should not be quoted as a combined total.
What enforcement has done
Cumulative totals, shown as two dated readings rather than one number, so the movement over seven months is visible. A cumulative figure quoted without a date cannot be compared to anything.

| Police, prosecutors and judicial officers trained | — | 24,600 | [5] |
A dash means no figure for that action was given in the December 2025 answer, not that the count was zero. Figures are cumulative since the relevant system began, so a row is a running total and not an annual one.

Read this table carefully. These are cases registered by police and compiled by the NCRB, so a low figure can mean either little crime or little registration. Registration practice differs sharply between jurisdictions, which is why this table is published as it stands rather than turned into a per-capita ranking.

What we deliberately did not calculate
- Why is there no figure for complaints or losses in 2025?
- No annual all-India figure for 2025 has been published. A 2021–2025 cumulative total exists, and so do the 2021–2024 annual figures, but the cumulative counts financial fraud complaints while the annual series counts incidents of every type of cyber crime. Subtracting one from the other would produce a number that is not a measurement of anything, so the cell says "not published".
- Why is there no loss figure for 2021?
- The 2021 incident count survives only as a footnote to the table in Lok Sabha Q432. No amount lost for 2021 appears in any source read for this page.
- Why is there no State-wise figure for money frozen or refunded?
- It was asked for in Parliament and not supplied. Rajya Sabha Q403 asked for complaints, FIRs, amount involved, amount frozen and amount recovered State-wise; the answer gave national totals only.
- Why is there no per-capita or per-internet-user ranking of States?
- Cases registered measures police registration as much as crime. Dividing a registration figure by population produces a rate that reads as a crime rate and is not one.
If you are here because it happened to you
Call 1930 or report at cybercrime.gov.in first, today. Everything in the lien column above depends on the money still being traceable, so the hours matter more than the paperwork.
Method
Where the figures come from
Government of India sources only — answers given in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, and Press Information Bureau releases. Every figure on this page was read out of the original PDF or release, not from a news report of it. Where a figure was available only in a news report it was left off the page and recorded in the verification log instead. There are 7 source documents, each linked in full below.
What we calculate, and what we quote
A figure is either published or derived, and the page says which. Derived figures on this page are the average loss per incident, the FIR rate, the refund rate and the case-registration ratio. Each one names its inputs where it appears, so anyone can reproduce it from the published totals. We do not estimate, project, round up or fill a gap: a year with no published figure prints "not published".
Datasets that count different things
Two national datasets appear here. The NCRP counts incidents reported by the public; NCRB "Crime in India" counts cases registered by the police. A complaint on the portal does not become an FIR automatically, and the two are never charted as one series or added together. The same caution applies to the two money windows: one runs on calendar years and the other on financial years, and neither is carried into the other.
How often this changes
Figures are refreshed after each session of Parliament, and the update date at the top of the page moves only when a figure does. The next scheduled revision is after the winter session of Parliament, December 2026.
Corrections
If a figure here does not match the document it cites, write to team@getnyay.in. We will check it against the source, correct it, and record the correction on this page with the date. That log is part of the page, not a separate archive.
Corrections log
No corrections have been made since this page was first published on 4 September 2026. When one is, it will appear here with its date and what changed, and the figure will not be quietly edited.
Who compiled this
Compiled and checked by Deepak Middha, a Chartered Accountant with over 15 years in the hedge fund and alternative-investment industry, who reads the primary document behind every regulatory figure published on GetNyay. He is not a lawyer and this page is not legal advice. Our editorial policy sets out how figures are sourced and corrected.
Questions about these figures
The things reporters and readers ask most often, answered against the same sources.
How much did Indians lose to cyber fraud in 2024?
₹22,845.73 cr was reported lost across 22,68,346 incidents registered on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal during 2024. The figure was given to the Lok Sabha on 2 December 2025 in answer to Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 432. It is the amount reported by complainants, not an assessed or adjudicated loss.
Does the "amount saved" figure mean victims got their money back?
No. The same ₹8,189 cr that one answer calls the amount "saved" is described in another as the amount "marked as Lien" — money stopped in an account, not money returned. The Government has separately published the amount actually refunded: more than ₹206 cr across financial years 2023–24 to 2025–26, against more than ₹56,087 cr reported lost in the same period.
How many cyber fraud complaints turn into an FIR?
More than 1,95,760 FIRs were registered against more than 65,89,201 financial fraud complaints on the NCRP between 2021 and 2025 — 2.97%, or about three in every hundred. Both figures come from the same answer, Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 251 of 21 July 2026, so this is a like-for-like comparison inside one dataset rather than a ratio across two.
Which state records the most cyber crime cases in India?
Telangana, with 27,230 cases registered in 2024, followed by Karnataka with 21,993. Between them those two account for 48.3% of every cyber crime case registered in the country that year. That reflects police registration practice as much as underlying crime, which is why this page publishes the table rather than a ranking.
Why is there no figure for 2025 on this page?
No annual all-India figure for 2025 has been published. A 2021–2025 cumulative total exists, and so do the 2021–2024 annual figures, but the cumulative counts financial fraud complaints while the annual series counts incidents of every type of cyber crime. Subtracting one from the other would produce a number that is not a measurement of anything, so the cell says "not published".
Can I reuse these figures and charts in an article?
Yes. The compilation, the derived figures and the charts are published under CC BY 4.0 — reuse any of them with credit and a link to /data/cyber-fraud. The underlying figures are Government of India material and each is linked to the original document it came from. A ready-made citation line and both CSV files are on this page, and press queries to team@getnyay.in get a same-day reply.
What should I do if I have already lost money to cyber fraud?
Call 1930 or report at cybercrime.gov.in straight away — the lien machinery behind the figures above only works while the money is still traceable, so hours matter more than paperwork. Write to your bank the same day, and keep the acknowledgement number the portal gives you. Our guides on filing a UPI fraud complaint and on escalating to the RBI Ombudsman set out what to send and in what order.
