The number of cyber fraud cases registered in India nearly tripled to 29,758 in 2024 from 10,395 in 2020, according to data shared by the Union government in Parliament. The government said that separate data on gaming app or website fraud, marketing or investment fraud, fraud calls, and e-wallet or UPI fraud has been maintained only since 2024. Telangana recorded the highest number of cyber fraud cases in 2024 at 18,922. The government said the National Crime Records Bureau does not maintain data on the amount of money lost or recovered in cyber fraud cases. The Citizen Financial Cyber Fraud Reporting and Management System, launched in 2021, enables immediate reporting of financial fraud to help prevent funds from being siphoned off.
